We were headed for a pretty normal year of precipitation in NoVa until this storm.  About 8 inches above normal beforehand.  Now I guess we're about 25 inches above normal on the year.

This is gonna be a mess.  Temps were above freezing Monday, but they fell back into the low-20s today, so the runoff is going to freeze over again.

Really, they should've kept the feds open yesterday and closed them down today.  Dealing with snow isn't so bad.  You can walk and drive on it, especially in larger quantities.  And the cars will help heat up the road to melt it off.

Black ice is a a different story.  I didn't fully appreciate the concept until I did 30 feet of what one might generously call "walking" from my apartment and decided I'd go ahead and wait on the bus instead.
