You NEVER want to be in DC during a blizzard. People who are already crazy and can’t drive freaking out, plowing into each other. TV news melting down, end of world mode. I hope Harry Reid’s limo gets buried!

If the Senate has to vote, do they draw straws as to who gets to push Robert “Bernie” Byrd’s wheel chair for any votes???

Mrs. jimfree and I (residing inside the DC Beltway) have an overnight planned in Rehoboth Beach, DE with an intended departure this afternoon. We’ll be getting snow accumulation there as well and driving home into some deep stuff. Maybe we’ll just stay through Sunday. Haven’t been able to reach her at work to ask if she still wants to go.

Well, the good news is, since it’s a million degrees at the Earth’s core, the snow pack will melt pretty quickly.

Al Gore said so. It’s a widely believed fact.

They're even crazier driving on ice. You might want to buy an extra FireLog for Monday.

Oh, well in that case, the snow shouldn’t even stick. No problem, then.

Is it any wonder Gore wants the next globull warming conference in July in Mexico.

God could make it snow then too.

So we are giving commissions to storms? It would be much cheaper to treat them as enlisted storms.

Exactly! That nightmare has happened to us several times over the years while attending CPAC or the 2 FReeper inaugural balls for GWB during the winter. It's absolutely incredible to me how everything shuts down even over a "dusting" of snow in the DC area.

If there's more than a dusting, it's nearly suicidal to attempt to drive through the streets of DC and outlying areas - you aren't kidding, eartotheground, about crazy drivers plowing into each other. (I'm from Connecticut, we see lots of snow)

the more snow in DC, the better — has to help the GOP and hurt Reid’s health care marathon schedule in some capacity... what Reid is doing is the most tedious, naked display of sick and irrational power I have ever witnessed. I am hoping that some of the Democratic senators and their staffs get angry as Hell and just say “enough!”
