Snowpocalypse II Pics

Blame it on the snow. The weather put the kibosh on our plans to visit my dad for a belated celebration of his birthday. At first, forecasters thought the snow might miss us, but soon we had to admit it was coming right at us! A three-hour trip to Central Pennsylvania was no longer possible.

We did, however, make use of the weekend, adding more items to our baby registry, making reservations for Valentine's Day (provided we don't get socked with more snow), and redesigning my portfolio page. Not to mention me sorting through all the piled-up mail and doing some laundry. All this while 22 inches fell on the streets outside our rowhouse in the Philadelphia suburbs.

On Sunday, after the snow stopped, I ventured out to take some photos of the storm the blogosphere dubbed Snowpocalypse II.

When you can't go anywhere, you get more done.
