You call that snow, mary??? That's what we would call a dusting... Just funnin'...

My fondest Richmond snow memory was bad around '83... I think it was Feb 17 or 18th 'cause there was a party scheduled for the 17th in NoVa and I had it written on the chalk board in the hall... Anyway, a bunch of folks from Richmond went up to this party 'cause it was being thrown by a woman who had moved up there... Sunday mornin' rolls around and they said it was gonna snow so I beat feet back to Richmond... Started snowin' hard around Ashland and I barely made it back to my house in Woodland Height just south of the James River...

I was smart 'cuase everyone else go snowed into that 2 bedroom apartment in NoVa... Think there were about 15 people and it took days to get them out...

But nevermind them...

The day after it snowed was a Monday and I was workin' for the City of Richmond as a social worker and they told everyone to stay home from work... Reckon there was around a foot of snow, which for Richmond is alot... So me and my dog and my wife took off walkin'... Walked over the Lee Bridge and thru Oregon Hill to the Fan District where we visited with friends and made the best of it... I took my ol' Honetwell Pentex 35mm camera with me and still have a dozen or so pictures of that snow that I took during the day...

The End of My Richmond Snow Story...

Now, ya'll who are in the middle of the worst of it... Be safe... No gettin' up on the roof, por favor...

Now I'm gonna get bundled up and go have at my new snow...

Later...
