The Weather Channel and I seem to have very different definitions of "flurries," snowing for 6+ hours straight just ain't it. The roads have been almost constantly slippery for weeks (would it kill my town to throw down some salt? not once on my street this winter), and my tiny little Ion keeps getting stuck or failing to break (it's too light ( Read more... )

Rather stupidly, I am still jealous of your snow. DC is a no-snow zone this winter, it seems. We got about 20 minutes of occasional flakes, maybe as much as an hour in some places, and not a damn one stuck.

I'm fine - I had to slam on the breaks to make sure I wasn't going to go flying into the intersection. Scared the crap out of me, slowed down to 15 mph... and then I dropped 10 mph the rest of the way home after nearly jumping the curb when I lost control of my car. I've never been happier to get home!
