Yes, I would say this weekend we are hunkering down (see definition #1 and #2) and the big ole storm the newspapers around here have dubbed everything from "Snowtorious B.I.G" to "The Curse of Snowbama" is hunkering hunkering hunkering down (see definition #3). That pretty much sums up life here at the moment.
Phase 10, Monopoly, Sort it Out, Ticket to Ride, The Lost Symbol, digging out our cars (attempting at least--plenty more work ahead tomorrow) OH...and did I mention no electricity (i.e. heat, stove, shower, HEAT...) from 4am to 4pm today........ that's been our weekend.
It's been kinda incredible and fun to be here for the worst storm DC has seen since 1922. 28-30 inches. This storm started at noon on Friday and is just now letting up at 6pm Saturday. Stormageddon is not joking around...and this is coming from a Utah girl, so you KNOW it's gotta be serious! Here's some pictures of the craziness! Stay warm, and don't take your nice hot showers for granted! :)

It looks so amazing! I am reminded of our huge storm in Detroit where the only way out of the house was sliding out of the second story window and dig down! Have some fun with it~~when you have a hot shower to warm up with!
