Washington & Baltimore → Sore back so more pix

So I gather you're enjoying our Snow of Doom.

I just went downstairs to the mini market in my building to get a loaf of Italian bread...got the itch to have garlic bread with dinner. The usual bunch of panic-stricken people racing for the usual m/b/tp. I got the next to last loaf of Italian and the last rye for sandwiches...but, I had to settle for un-seeded!

So you were the so and so that got my rye, good thing they still had the single malt.

Heehee. You come all the way from Hyattsville to Dupont in the snow to shop? Pssssssst: I'm selling TP for $20 a roll until we get 6" of snow, then the price goes up to $40.

I'm good on booze. The market in the building sells beer and wine, there's a liquor store directly across the street, and another one a block down from me. I think I'll manage to survive until it melts tomorrow.

Take care of your back, its the only one you have.

On a related note, I particularly liked the blood hound shying away from the underwear, most excellent.

Glad you liked it, I thought the bloodhound's expression was incredible.

On a snow note, not icy here, getting deep though, maybe 6".
Just took the recycling out to the street, absolutely no idea if they are even going to try to pick-up tomorrow, but it is out there, and I didn't slip or slide at all (unlike this afternoon when I was clearing the car and shoveling.. Oh why did I even bother...)

It changed back to a rainy/snowy mix here. I think we got about 4" before it started getting washed off. It's now a sloooooshy mess. Most of the sidewalks around me are shoveled, though.

Here I have heavy icy clumps pulling my leyland cypress branches the whole way down to the deck. I hope they aren't damaged, that is a nice privacy barrier.

Saw 6 male cardinals around the feeder, they are territorial so 6 that close says they are very hungry. Hopefully got some pix, have to dig out the card reader, then edit the size down to post if any turned out.
One turned out, apparently zoom doesn't work through windows
One male on feeder on pole, one on rail next to pole, a female on the chair arm.
And you can see branches pulled down, usually can't see neighbors house at all
