A perfect Science Experiment!
I will keep my blog abreast of snow totals in our yard, NW DC, close to both Silver Spring, MD and Takoma Park MD.
Current: 8", 16 degrees
Those pictures above are from when we had the snow storm that gave us 4" on 2 January 2014!
Can't wait to document what we get! I will post pictures as soon as I can get them downloaded.
Yesterday, for my Thankfulness Project 365, day 3, I was thankful for snow!
And boy, is it snowing! Yay!
I can not tell a lie- I am jumping up and down with glee. Yes, I am like a little kid on Christmas morning. I am so happy for this snow. And it is like birthday snow for me since it gave me an extra weekend day off for my birthday weekend, so what is not to love?

Right now, we are under a winter storm warning!
What better way to spend a snow day than to watch radar for snow, hope for more of it, and measure it? Woot! I see snowballs and fun in our future!
This is suppose to be the biggest snowfall for DC area in three years!
So no matter way to document it with my kids, and for you than to measure it and perform science experiments once the snow comes down harder!
Adults- join in on the fun too. We know federal offices are closed!
You can follow up updates from the Capital Weather Gang (Washington Post).
Snow potential from different sources:
Accuweather- 6" to 12"
Weather.com 5"-8"

NBC Washington 4" to 7"/7" to 10"
"Jason Demers" (Washington Post commentee) even has Live Feed of the snow storm in their yard on Ustream TV!
