Snowstorm news: Are you back from DC, E? Looks like it snowed plenty there and at your "home base," as well. We just got back from the f-i-l's. He lives about 10 miles north, and got twice as much snow as our less-than-2", while my mother in the Pgh suburbs got at least 7". I have those happy snow-filled childhood memories, too, but somehow can't get too excited about the occasional major storm any more.

Hey, cool, Soupy Sales! That picture alone will have me singing "cheese and crackers, crackers and cheese."

I'm back! We allegedly got 2 inches of snow here Thurs nite, which had all but melted by the time my plane got in last night about 7:30 pm. Yesterday morning I drove into DC from Williamsburg, and while several flights ahead of mine (to Chicago) were cancelled, mine actually went out only about an hour late. Whatever snow Chicago had gotten Thurs night was essentially gone Friday - it was 40 degrees there, so there was no weather to worry about. I don't know what DC got after I left, but it had only rain when I was there keeping Reagan National company most of yesterday. Ironically, CNN airport channel said you were hopelessly snowed in there in WVA (of course they said DC was a disaster, too - which of course, it wasn't at that time).

Glad you aren't in blizzard conditions!
