Snow tires

Looks like I picked the right time to buy snow tires...http://www.wtopnews.com/?nid=25&sid=1880749

Snowpocalypse coming...

PS: All you Arlingtonians, be prepared to "shelter in place"! http://www.arlingtonva.us/portals/to...herWinter.aspx

School systems starting to close. Alexandria and Fairfax have already announced they are closed tomorrow.

I've got to work all day tomorrow and more than likely all day saturday on a proposal. Could potentially get interesting with Maryland's complete inability to clear roads in a timely fashion.
