Reply #45: THANKS for that beautiful photo....reporting now from Alexandria VA

[diamond14]

just across the Potomac River from DC....03:30 PM


Everything here is TOTALLY MESSED UP...roads are a DISASTER...visibility is LOW, it's still snowing....local radios are telling everyone to STAY HOME, do NOT TRAVEL....


I measured TWO INCHES on the patio (five measurements, all at least TWO inches)...but most of the snow is melting into a nasty MUSH, which is making the roads virtually impassable on even the slightest of hills....sirens are screaming for emergencies, echoing throughout my neighborhood....this MUSH will freeze up tonight into a totally impassable mess....

Kids were all sent home from schools EARLY, DC schools CLOSED early, no classes at any colleges tonight....meetings are being cancelled for tonight on local radio.....


bush* had a BIG outdoor event scheduled this afternoon in the ELLIPSE (that huge park right in front of OUR White House)...haven't yet heard how it went....




ICE COLD seats ready for those rich reTHUGlican FAT-ASSES....
