It’s snowing like crazy today, although the experts are insisting that the accumulation will be 1-2”. We’ll see. It is, however, just enough to close schools (sigh) and hose traffic. I’m hoping the drive home tonight won’t be too terrible since a lot of DC commuters stayed home today or will have left early because of the inauguration stuff.

LATER: Rob Llama has the best line regarding the DC snow attitude.

Well, it’s snowing here in Your Nation’s Capital for the first time this season and already people in my office are acting as if a glacier had just rolled across the Beltway.

Heh.

LATERER (3:00pm): ECD and I left together in my car. She needed to get home for her daughter since she was being released from school early. She didn’t want to drive a government car in the snow and I didn’t want to face the crazy drivers in the dark. So I’m at home now.

Surprisingly, the roads were worse closer to work than at home. The roads out here had been treated and were much clearer than inside the Beltway.
