Just like clockwork. Perpetual snow for 3+ months. Love how these people just take it in stride. They just drive in it and scrape the roads after each event. No chemicals put on the roads to ruin their vehicles.

Woke up to a nice band, quick inch or so. In a lull right now. Hoping it pukes snow later

This is wildly off topic but good to hear. My wife and I talk about moving somewhere more rural when the kids are older, and getting out of the silver spring rat race. I don't know where you lived in Rockville, but how do you feel about all the driving you have to do in a rural area? The biggest thing we like about where we live is we can walk to schools with the kids, and walk to a lot of daily errands like the post office, grocery, library, health and personal appointments, etc. I really don't drive much. I think I would get over the driving because I grew up in a place like that, but my wife didn't. Anyway, off topic but I hope you get a lot of snow and it sounds like the trade-offs were worth it to GTFO from the DMV inner suburbs.

I love the driving lol. It's peaceful, beautiful and fun. No traffic so trips to stores always take the same amount of time. It's very predictable. I'm 30 mins each way to all the majors (wally, lowes, Kroger, etc) and an hour each way to 2 decent sized cities (roanoke, lynchburg). We've learned to be efficient by combining errands and avoiding any single store trip. We generally only run into town 1-2 days a week tops. 

Not much walking for errands but we walk in the woods or around the lakes daily with the dog. Lots of outdoors stuff for foot travel but if we need to buy anything it's a drive. 

I was 100% sick of driving anywhere in the metro region lol. 5 miles took 20+ minutes and I was surrounded by impatient jerks or people not even looking at the road lol. Here, it's just sightseeing with a few cars and trucks here and there.  Totally relaxed and pretty scenery everywhere. You can drive as fast or slow as you want. I rarely see police and when I do they all wave lol. Speed limits are just suggestions on the back roads. The driving experience itself is night and day compared to the DMV so even though it's 60 miles round trip for groceries the actual driving is only 60 mins with no stress or traffic.

Ravens game in Cincy on Sunday has an expected high of about 13. That doesn’t bode well for Lamar.
