Farmboy

I was in a hotel in downtown D.C. Feb. 9-11, 2010, and jotted this note in my calendar at the time: "Stopped snowing and started sleeting 10 p.m. Tuesday. Woke up to blowing, heavy snow 7:30 a.m. Wednesday. It didn't really let up till 3:30. 13 or 14 inches, brutally cold and high winds."

Arlington closed.

Arlington streets very treacherous just now, though as usual when it's only an inch or two, the main hazard is the other drivers. Saw a spinout on Langston Boulevard and another on George Mason Dr.
