Post by: Nemo on January 23, 2016, 09:29:26 PM: You would think the folks there had a hair of an idea among them. The entire area went apechit last Wednesday when 1 inch fell on the area. It was all shut down tighter than a steel drum.

But the warning and potential of everything, including metro rail and bus system shut down Friday until Sunday evening at earliest, gave no one any idea or warning.

Hope it shuts everything down for a week or 2. Just that much closer to obummer being gone.

Post by: Nemo on January 24, 2016, 08:50:16 PM: Had breakfast at the local Cracker Barrel Saturday morning. Saw a half dozen flakes or so. First I have seen since the one lonely flake back in Jan 11.

I laugh at all those in DC who decided at the last minute to battle over a loaf of wonder bread.
