The media tried to call our snow storm in December a blizzard. That is when we all learned a blizzard is determined by the wind speed not the amount of snow. We really did get a good dump this time. I grabbed some alcohol from my beer stock and took off to Teri's when it started. Teri lives in Reston, VA and they got a lot more snow than Arlington:
17.8 total in Arlington plus 3.7 Tuesday, 6.8 Wednesday for 55.6 for the season28.9 total in Reston plus 2.2 Tuesday, 6.3 Wednesday for 72 for the season
29 inches is a pretty good accumulation and the area took a few days to dig out. School and work was out for awhile. Even a week or so later the commute was triple normal because of snow covered lanes. Trees and limbs are down everywhere. The Caps managed to still get their game off and won their 14th game in a row. Cars were buried under two feet of snow and not many people have shovels. The metro ran below ground only. I can't go anywhere in the tires on my car but we got around pretty good on the unplowed roads in Teri's car. Lots of vehicles were stranded on small and major roads.
