Well, we woke up to a blanket of snow (about 8 inches), and it's been snowing steadily all morning (up to 12 inches now). The alarmist news channels and weather reporters are having a field day; they're calling it "Winter Wallop." To be fair, the region's airports have shut down, lots of businesses and public buildings are closed, and many events have been canceled (including our evening plans to see the Capitol Steps). We also do have a blizzard warning until 6 pm (though the winds are well below the 35 mph "blizzard" threshold), and a winter storm watch until morning. After a walk out to visit the cat we're watching this week, looks like a good day to stay inside.
I am jealous! I am really hoping for some snow here in the Pacific Northwest but I don't think it is going to happen. Happy snow day!!
