Just heard on radio. Have been stuck in this mess for over 3 hours now. Family at home reported 7" snow in 3 hours.

F U Al Gore!!!

Oh no. I must have gotten home just in time. She is probably on Chain Bridge-123.

Hilarious - I realize this is old, but I’m posting the vid to Facebook.

I was wondering if they had closed the roads due to the motorcade. That would have set off some unhappy commuters! But the article you posted said that they did not close off roads today. Wonder if that is true . . .

Any pic of Obama throwing a ball is just the dictionary definition of “throws like a girl”.

>>Try Atlanta in an ice storm some time. These poeple can’t drive in the rain.

I can tell you really live in Atlanta.

I went out Monday after our last snow just for fun and had a great time in it. Found a nice big parking lot in which to pack my rear wheels full of snow sliding sideways. AWD is a blast if you have half a clue what you are doing.

Heck, it’s funny now!

We had a Gran Fury 2-door of around that era, ‘72 IIRC. Bright red. I drove that car a lot as a new teen driver.

Route 7...Tough to go anywhere from the Potomac to Leesburg regardless of the weather on that road. I so don't miss living there anymore.

And, I’ll bet you had a little bit of fun doing it.

Ordinarily I might have- but I left work early due to illness. I just wanted to get home and parked and into the house.

[goat granny]

LOL thats something I would do. Forget to close windows. Or maybe the moon roof window would be slightly ajar...

[Daffynition]

Tomorrowis going to be an interesting day. Coz folks are going to have to decide if they are going up on their roof.

[goat granny]

That looks like a heart attack special. yikes

[The Cajun]

WOW! I don’t think I would want to know the stress on that roof.

[Daffynition]

This has been quite a winter..........so far!

[Daffynition]

I'm sure there is a way to calculate that weight...rather than *tell* by just looking.z

.

[The Cajun]

I'm sure there is a way to calculate that weight......

Way too much, would be the figure I come up with on that one.

[Daffynition]

I don't like heights. Snow rakes are at a premium. Several roof collapses on the news this morning.

They have this thing called "grid-lock" when nobody goes anywhere regardless of what they are driving.

The headline says that he's stuck in the snow, not stuck in traffic. Perhaps a bit misleading, given the circumstances.

Regardless, I hope he's in the car and has had to sleep there overnight.

[meyer]

Well....he can always make snow ice cream!

May I suggest the lemon flavor for him...
