Actually, I don't work pizza again until Friday night...I'm part time fill in. My Explorer's tires are relatively new, and four wheel drive should keep me going.

The heavy stuff was supposed to have stayed South of KC Metro. We had a small chance of light flurries when I went to bed last night. We had thundersnow! It was cool.

I love thundersnows! By the way, your snow came from Colorado. We had it last weekend for me to deliver phone books. It's OK, you don't have to thank us, we've got plenty of snow to spare for everyone!

Send some snow here to DCLand! We had a rainy, foggy, nasty day on Wednesday. I'd rather have a snowy, foggy, nasty day. At least I get to play in the leftovers the next morning.

Hmmm, as I recall the last time we sent you guys in DC a snowstorm, you all just flipped right out. I was visiting DC myself at the time and watching the DC drivers try to deal with the stuff was hilarious only because I myself never drive when in DC (that's what God invented the Metro for). The whole city shut down over the same amount of snow that a Coloradoan would shake off their coat after walking from their car into the house! (I'm teasing you, we'll see what we can do to help you out!)

No snow, just freakin' cold and windy here. The car told me the outside temperature was 37F when I was leaving work at midnight, and I think it's expected to go lower.

We had lovely flurries just as the Thanksgiving toast was raised, but nothing accumulating, until tonight. Were supposed to wake up to snow on Saturday. That's magic-go to sleep rusty brown and wake up sparking white. Beautiful.

Everyone ready to kill me? It is a practically balmy 65 degrees here. We all took a pleasant stroll around the neighborhood after eating to start working off all those extra servings of stuffing.

But the day before yesterday it was hailing!

Ah yes, I remember. DCLand did flip out but *I* thoroughly enjoyed it. Bring it on! Really, around here people get whipped into a frenzy when they talk about anything more than 1-3 inches and even that will set people off. Though VDOT did a pretty good job keeping major roads clear after the first big wave of snow. They more or less said 'Fuggit!' after the second and third big waves. Maybe I should move to Colorado. Or BuffaloLand, NY. Or Michigan. Or Minnesota. Or Chicago...
