it might be december



Let me be the first to tell you... there's snow in DC. Some of you may already know as it apparently deserves front page coverage. All area after school activities are cancelled. And there's been a run on milk and chili.

Not to be mean but come on people. Nothing is sticking. There is zero accumulation on the streets. An umbrella will do to defend against these gentle flakes. When we Chicago'ans heard a snow forecast we were expecting the real deal. Drifts you have to power through. Windy whirls that coat the bottom half of your legs with powder well before you ever get to work. That grey slush at the side of the roads. But this?

Rest assured, the powers that be brought out the snow plows. At least those make it feel like December.
