Oh, how I love DC when it snows. The whole city and surrounding suburbs just go nuts. All the inauguration hoopla didn't help the situation at all. It probably snowed about 2 inches max today, but of course it took us about an hour and a half to get home, we saw two new BMWs within 100 yards of each other abandoned on the side of the road (not a good sign), and another old pick up truck about to plow down the car in front of him. Going in the opposite direction, toward the city, we saw a couple Capital Party Rental trucks and a ton of giant tour buses getting set for all the W festivities.
Anyway, I shouldn't complain.. it's been a ridiculously short week and we got to leave early today. It's just funny to come home to the local news and hear reports of "Snow Storm" and "Snow Victims" after a 2-inch accumulation. People are laughing at us in the Northeast and out West. Wasn't it something like -50 degrees in Minnesota this week? What does that even mean? Once you get down to the teens and colder isn't it all the same? You stop feeling everything once you hit single digits anyway, don't you? Brrr, scary thought. Well, I'm glad to be home and bundled up... that's actually my favorite. I'm such a devoted homebody.
As I'm not working tomorrow you can expect me to make up for the long breaks in my blogging by bombarding you with a barrage of posts. Stay tuned.
