It's snowing!

The Washington Metro area is getting its first measurable snowfall in probably 2 years today. 2-4 inches of snow and ice is predicted to fall by noon tomorrow. Fantastic timing, of course. When I left the house this morning at 8:15, there was no sign of activity in the backyard so perhaps today and tomorrow will be lost causes. We do, however, have a new dumpster ready to be filled. Hopefully there will be something in it by the time we get home tonight.

The plan had been to start digging the foundation this week but that may be pushed back by a day or two as a result of this snow. The workers are currently working 6 days per week so they will likely catch up if they fall behind.

One more week until we move. We are not packed or ready to move but hopefully it will all come together this weekend. We have a lot of the extraneous stuff packed but now I have the stuff we actually use left to go.

I am basically selling our kitchen appliances out from under us because I want them out of there before they are damaged and not able to be sold. So far, the dishwasher and microwave are sold and our 3 year old stove should be gone by the end of the week. Everyone has agreed not to pick them up until next Sunday though. I didn't really plan on cooking after that point anyway!
