So it's started! We had tow dinner guests. One is stuck in traffic about 3 miles from the house and the other is returning here until the roads clear up....... ~April

Nothing better then 15-25 inches of snow out there in the country. Good luck!

Had same experience last night going the other direction. That little clipper caught local governments off guard. Roads in MD were not treated and 270 and the Beltway looked like a war zone with vehicles strewn about everywhere.

Falls church was a fustercluck for a little while. Boy O am I glad I don't have to commute any distance. This dusting was a good thing. It will wake people up and get them to get the snow gear out and ready and to understand to simply stay off the roads during the next one.

At dusk last night I put the snow tires on the 318ti. By 8:30 it was snowing. Never has such good timing in my life. We had merely a dusting in Baltimore County, but they still delayed schools 2 hours!

Leaf blower took care of the snow the am. I learned the hard way that whenever I skip a dusting it turns to ice. This weekend could be interesting.
