LOST: Dark Blue Sedan with Texas Plates

Last Seen on Friday, February 5th around 7 pm in Sterling, VA when the SNOW-NORMOUS storm hit. If you have seen it, please contact us -- a reward is offered: Hot cocoa and warm scones.
************************

We thought we left it parked somewhere around HERE, but we can't see ANY vehicles, can you?

We have found some suspicious looking snow mounds that almost look like they could be hibernating cars:




And we think maybe this is our side view mirror, but that's not a


particularly unique part of a car to identify it with.....


Ah, hah -- now we're making progress -- this appears to be a Texas license plate...and there are not too many of those around these parts....


A little further investigation, and we're pretty sure this is our missing car -- don't want to spend hours digging out, only to find out we've been working on the wrong one!



And after about 2-1/2 hours of both of us working, we have un-snowed our car -- don't you feel sorry for the two neighbors on either side of us? We don't! At least we've cleared one side for each of them already!!!

Well, this has been QUITE the snow storm/blizzard -- we heard the snowfall measured 32 inches at Dulles Airport which is near us. And look, even the traffic signs are wearing their winter snow beanies!

I am glad that you guys have such a good sense of humor about this and that you found the missing car. We hope it stops snowing soon for your sake.

Snow sure is beautiful... when you don't have to deal with it. Hope you and your family are weathering it well.

Oh my word!! I must admit that this post made me realize that Utah isn't all that bad after all, haha!
