Dem talking about 16 - 24 inches of snow staring on Friday afternoon going into the weekend. Saturday is supposed to be real nasty.

Make sure allyuh Washingtonians stock up on food, salt for de driveway and everything else you need. Stay off the roadway at all costs.

Man, this is no fun. Not fair at all!
Last time I took 4 hrs to go in on a Sat as somebody called out. I died a thousand deaths along de way.
I did spend de night.
This weekend I have to go in as colleague gone to Florida.
I am thinking, go in at crack of dawn tomorrow, like 9 am and come back home at noon; then sleep till sat 4 pm then go in. Roads should be clear by then?

Recommend that you dig out driveway every six inches or so.

that damn Reagan airport was a mess with everybody trying to get the earlier flights before the cancellations ....
good luck with allyuh digging and shovelling ..
the only shovelling i doing ( first thing back home )is from a bowl of "serious" cow-heel soup

The streets in PG County are really bad. This thing has caught a lot of people off guard.

In reply to DukeStreet

I live on a cul de sac and the residents had to form a spade brigade this morning and dig a path out for the cars.

We haven't seen any snow plows yet.
