Record Snow Fall in Virginia
posted by
Oh the memories, the adventures, the camaraderie, the opportunities, the giggles, the fun, and the way life wondrously slows down as the snow descends!
Northern Virginia has weathered seven fantastic snow storms this winter: breaking all time national weather service snow accumulation records (since their inception in the late 1800s) across the region. Our little corner of Virginia has seen close to 75 unprecedented inches of snow.
Reports and stories have come from far and wide! And though there were the long lists of canceled appointments, changed plans, and government, school, & business closings, it was the resulting family time, Providential protection, reaching out to neighbors, and enduring hardness through 
somewhat extenuating circumstances that resulted in opportunities for families to draw closer to each other, serve their local communities, and rejoice in the marvelous doings of our Creator God!
God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength (Job 37:5-6).
A Highlight of the last big snow was having our cousins over to sled on the big tubing hill which was created under the creative leadership of Daniel & Dad!
What a winter! Snow on the ground for three and half weeks straight is down right incredible and a first in Northern Virginia atleast in my lifetime. Adam – that was a fantastic shot of the bird fight.
The last couple of snow storms have been amazing!!
I just love how the trees look with an inch or two of snow on their branches. Just stunning!
We truly serve an incredible God!
