About 9 or 10 this morning. That's our car to the right of the minivan.
A ruler in the snow measured 6.5 inches.
The thing here in Virginia is to put your windshield wipers up in the air when snow and freezing weather are expected. This car's windshield wipers are up in the air, but buried in snow.
B shovels the first time.
A few hours later.
The corner of our front step is next to that candy cane, but the snow is up to the step.
Several hours later.
Close up of our buried car. It looks like it has a mohawk, or maybe a buzz cut.
The backyard undisturbed.
A few hours after this I had to shovel my way to our shed to pull our our salt. The snow was in drifts here and easily past my knees.
About 5 pm tonight. Our home.
B and Buddy shoveled again tonight and shoveled our car out so if the weather and roads are better, attempt Richmond again. I went out and brushed the snow off the top of our car... there was at least 18 inches on our car, even higher between cars and behind and in front of the car.
Where our car was.
Our parking spot.
Our spot from another angle... looking at toward our townhome from the parking lot. If you zoom in, those are our Christmas tree lights in the background.
Daddy's helper. Buddy helped shovel out the car and the sidewalks. Then he guided B as a maneuvered the car into a spot on the street. Our townhome has a parking lot and both entrances are hills. The one closest to us (like right behind our space) is impassable in snowy/icy weather. With this much snow, getting through the entire parking lot and to the other hill, though smaller, still wasn't going to be great. B ended up shoveling out enough to move the car and drove it slowly down the bigger hill to park on the street.

Thought of you these past two mornings as NPR has mentioned the snow in your area. Great photos; thanks for documenting the event! I'd be taking pictures if we had that much snow.
