I'm like 4 blocks away, but seeing as how Squig's already down there he can pick me up some Five Guys.

^I want an order of fries!
Hmm. I tried to go to the mall, but the snowplow did that thing where there's a huge embankment behind my parking spot.
And I didn't think to buy a snow shovel (never needed one this far south until now).
I think it's time to take a walk to the (smaller) mall next door.....

The snow is coming down fast at home. Good thing things are warm at home now.
I got to the Fair Oaks Mall only to find they'd decided to close early today. Even that drive---20 minutes, normally 10---was rather dicey.
I have no idea why Fairfax County hates putting down sand when it snows, but apparently they do. There's absolutely none. They seem to satisfy themselves with pushing the snow around and *maybe* sprinkling a little salt.

I saw no evidence of sand or anything else on the roads in Howard County so don't feel bad. Granted, I haven't ventured beyond my neighborhood (and then only on foot) so I can only assume that they've been working on the main roads thusfar. I'd have zero chance getting out of my parking lot or down the residential streets because they've only plowed them like once and you can't even tell.
Um hello? Where's the hand lotion, burgers and fries you were supposed to pick up? We're hungry.
I read about the stuck trains on the Chunnel. Is it cold and snowing both in the UK and the Continent? Sounds like it's really bad in France.
Same in town. They were plowing but after 5 minutes there was no evidence of plowing. I guess it's just too much for anything to keep up with so why bother? Once it dies down after midnight they'll coat the roads with every chemical known to man.
Reagan National is now at 14.7 inches. 8th largest DC snowfall ever. Largest December snowfall ever. See? Obama went to Copenhagen and now global warming is over! The seas have stopped rising. Mission accomplished!
You can actually see asphalt on my road. They've plowed a few times at least since I finally dragged myself out of bed at 3:00, though I'm sure the less important roads are probably being left alone in favor of the major routes. It's still really only suitable for 4wd, but people are getting through. 
I'm still not not leaving the house. Maybe tomorrow I'll consider shoveling out my car or something.

Oh okay. Mass ave is how I'd get into the downtown area, and to school from here. I guess I'm staying put. 
All those poor ambassadors stuck in their compounds. Well, the British one is HUGE. So I'm sure they are fine, drinking, eating and laughing in their own pub somewhere in the British Embassy grounds.

Check this stuff out it slides down and curls around and finally breaks off in a big thud.

Light pollution run a muck, I guess. This orange glow always appears after a snow storm, but this time it's particularly obscene. I can easily read in the dark by it.
Did you ever get your 5 Guys from Squiggy? I never got my hand lotion.
