Snow, schmow

It snowed last night. And I mean, it SNOWED. I think we got about 5-6 inches, mostly between 5-9 am this morning. OK, so this isn't exactly what they ae used to everyday during the winter months in Denver or Chicago, but it's pretty exciting for us wussies in the northern Virginia area. All schools are closed, government offices offered liberal leave to employees, the federal government opened two hours late, and I am working from home not only because the schools are closed, but also because the losers who are supposed to plow our neighborhood streets have not made an appearance yet.

Check it out ... the first real snowfall in the DC area in the past few years ...
