Michelle Timberlake didn’t expect to venture into the weekend blizzard that blanketed much of the mid-Atlantic.But the interior designer who normally wears high heels to work found herself running through hip-high snow Saturday morning when about 40 cows escaped from the pasture on her and her husband’s Boyce, Virginia, farm in search of food and shelter.“This was not what I imagined for myself,” she said Sunday, laughing at the memory.Luckily, the cows were corralled – thanks to a bale of hay – and the snow stopped, but not before more than 30 inches had been dumped over two days in parts of the region.Timberlake said she and her neighbors were gearing up for the next weather system, expected to hit the area as early as Tuesday. The National Weather Service is forecasting more than 5 inches of snow and winds up to 25 mph in the Washington and Baltimore, Maryland, areas.“Everybody’s just trying to clean up and get a little bit ahead of the game before the next round comes,” said Timberlake, whose farm is located about two hours west of Washington.cheap star trek online creditsMore than 300,000 people from Pennsylvania to Virginia were without electricity Sunday, utility companies said.
