Here are additional pictures from the second round of Winter Storm Dion that deposited about five inches of snow around our area here in Northern Virginia. Federal Government offices were closed in the District of Columbia; tree damage and power outages were prevalent and schools closed so, that we could batten down for the morning to wait out the remainder of the storm with a second cup of coffee.

The concentration of the storm around 9:00 this morning, look at the ice bending the bamboo plants in the background.
As the sky cleared around 1:50 this afternoon, most of the neighbors were out shoveling snow and ice off the sidewalks and driveways.
A stylish sunset rounded out the beauty of the day, and to see the gorgeousness of these clouds, one could not imagine how cold it actually is outside.
Stay warm,
K
