HISTORIC SNOWFALL BLANKETS MD/DC REGION

This is a picture outside our window of the blizzard that hit us on February 9 after the RECORD BREAKING snowfall on Saturday February 6th 2010!  For historic record I can attest that the North Beach, Dunkirk, Owings, MD area received a walloping 2 feet of snow!  About 24 inches all around!  

THAT PUTS US AS THE SECOND BIGGEST SNOWFALL TOTAL IN RECORDED HISTORY FOR THE AREA!  HERE’S HOW WE LINE UP WITH PAST STORMS:

1. JAN 1922_  28 inches
2. FEB 6, 2010_ 24 inches
3. FEB 1899_   20.5 inches
4. FEB 1979_   18.7 inches
5. JAN 1996_   17.1 inches
6. FEB 2003_   16.7 inches
7. FEB 1983_   16.6 inches
8. DEC 19, 2009_   16.4 inches

WE HAD THE BIGGEST SNOWFALL IN A SINGLE DAY EVER IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER ON DECEMBER  19, 2009!  AND BY THE END OF FEBRUARY WE WERE RECORDED AS THE MOST SNOWFALL IN A SINGLE WINTER EVER RECORDED FOR THIS AREA!

FIRE CHIEF ON THE SCENE

Duncan knows that some jobs you have to do on your own to get it right!  Even if  you’re a 2 year old Fire Chief like himself!

Sorrowful News

 We are sad to find out that J’s Aunt and Duncan’s Great Aunt Myrtice Hicks of Miami, FL has passed away after suffering from an acute illness.  We say “goodbye” knowing and grateful that she enriched the lives of everyone she came into contact with.  She will be dearly missed.

HAPPY 40th BIRTHDAY SEAN!

Then There Was THREE- Sean at 26 weeks

Sean and Duncan enjoy a light moment.  Sean is at 26 weeks now and we are in fullswing preparations for welcoming Baby girl to the family in late April. We do not have a name picked out yet!  A project that I’m sure we will have  completed by April.  We are planing what we are describing as a “celebrate the last time we will ever do this baby thing again party” sometime before April 15.  Otherwise, all is well.  Life is busy, but we did want to send warm thoughts to our Aunt’s Marilyn and Myrtice, and Uncle Jima. We are thinking of you and wish you the best of health!  We also want to wish our cousin Michelle a HAPPY BIRTHDAY on the 5th!
