Sunday Snaps: SNOW!!!

Most of these were taken while at work today. They had said 2" of snow in the forecast, but we had quite a bit more than that...

When it first started coming down.

The little fenced garden at work.

Employee parking lot.
I wanted to run outside and play in it so, so, so bad!!
The ER was RETARDEDLY busy. People in the MD/DC/VA area are notorious for not knowing how to drive in snow, yet they came pouring through our doors for total non-emergencies like swollen ears, minor scrapes and cuts, single episodes of vomiting/diarrhea in pets that were absolutely normal, one dog that had been smacking its lips too much, a hiccuping Lab (I kid you not!!), etc. It was bizarre.
Usually with nasty weather we only get the TRUE emergencies that are life-or-death, enough to make their owners risk their own lives in the process.
We saw 22 emergencies today. Only 3 of those required hospitalization. Just saying. 

My car with snow partially removed.
See? That's more than 2" on the roof. I was ankle deep in the stuff that had piled around the car.
And I'm a huge dork in only my second real winter ever...I was giggling the entire time I was removing snow from the car!

Home. LOOOVE the snow on the rooftops!!

My footprints in the stuff. I took my sweet time getting across the apartment complex parking lot, stomping through the white stuff.  It never lasts long on the ground here; had to take advantage of it while it was there!
