My sister’s driveway in the Roanoke Valley usually is steep. Not now. The curve of the snow before the garage door on the left tells the almost two foot depth. As does the basketball hoop’s pole.

Relatives in the Roanoke Valley of Virginia still have power, fortunately, so we’ve been exchanging email. Also managed to watch one of their television stations, WDBJ-7, on the Web. Their chief meteorologist lives in nearby Fincastle, another town we have an attachment to, and he showed pictures of that little place buried under more than a foot of snow.
Less luck in finding any news on Quicksburg in the Shenandoah Valley where friends live, but they seldom do email and we haven’t tried a landline call yet. Fortunately, the storm is pretty much following Accuweather’s Friday forecast and gradually moving off to the northeast to batter the major cities of the East Coast.
