Still haven’t gotten touched here in Burke. The line is moving NNE and not quite glancing us, though that little “bow” to the south should do the trick.

I’ve been talking about trying out yoga for quite a while now. I’ve never been particularly flexible (though athletic), and I’m thinking it can help my golf game. My wife (who is obviously a very good listener ) just got me a three-week trial at a local studio for my birthday, so I’m going to give it a whirl.

Drove by the closest gas station to my house today. A gallon of gas has gone up exactly $1.00 in the past 10 days. That sucks.

Let me ask you a question. If you’re an administrator in a local school district, would you keep the kids in school or would you send them home early? Think long and hard about what the outcomes of these decisions could be and the risk in making one decision or the other, as well as the benefits and drawbacks of both.

We were supposed to take off from DCA 45 minutes ago, but we’ve had to wait to be de-iced due to the less than an inch they got here. Meanwhile, my family is spamming me with reports and videos about the storm in South Jersey. Yay!

I go by the closest weather underground reporting station, which is less than a mile away and always seems pretty reliable. We piled up early on but it’s just not accumulating much right now.

What’s funny is that it’s still coming down pretty good here, but it’s melting almost as fast as it’s falling because it’s 33 degrees.

It’s a little frustrating to get texts from my family in South Jersey hearing about how they’re already getting clobbered, but the fact that I need to get out on a 7:00 am flight tomorrow eases that pain a little bit. If I didn’t have that flight out, I might have been on tilt by now.

It wouldn’t have been worth being upset about missing unless the storm ended up 75 miles west. It’s coming down nicely here in Burke, but it’s not as if we’re getting clobbered.

First to catch and stay with the idea of a big storm. Just so happens it missed the bullseye by 50-100 miles.

Went into the Rec Center for swim practice at 4:45 with no accumulations yet and came out at about 6:15 with nearly 1” on the cars. Fun drive home from Annandale to Burke!

Sorry your backyard sucks.

Because they're getting heavier rates and resulting dynamic cooling.
