Stan Suther's Real Estate and Stuff

This weekend provided Washington, DC, among other northeast cities, what’s been described by some weather watchers as a “blizzard of historic proportions.”  Susan and I have been able to get some in-depth reporting on this because one of our daughters, Kathryn, lives in DC with husband Ron and granddog Max.  They had already had a rather big snow before Christmas and sent photos then of their neighborhood and Max trying to maneuver in the deep snow.  This recent snow tops that by a large margin.  Last night they sent a link to some photos they took yesterday, and all I can say is that I’m sure glad we here in the Lake Norman area are not having to deal with a snow like that.  I know I’d not make a happy northerner because when I see photos like that, I think of all the work it takes just to do simple things like maybe just open the front door when there’s a snow drift up against it.  I thought about their having to deal with Max.  Like, how does your dog go out to do his business when the snow is over his head?  Ron is 6’4″, and the snow was above his knees!

Ah, at least Kathryn and Ron (and Max) are young and can treat this as an adventure that will make good stories for years to come.
