Scary Scary Icky Pooh!!!
Oh NOOOO! We are DOOMED! There is snow on the way. The amazing behavior of the DC metropolitan area whenever there is a hint of snow is most amusing. Unfortunately for me, I had to go to the bank and post office this morning. The bank shares a parking lot with the Safeway. It was pretty clear that the zombie like purchasers of "bread, milk and toilet paper" were there in force, as I had difficulty finding parking at the bank, on the OPPOSITE end of the shopping center, where it was pretty much deserted.
The post office was also full of people, most of shipping holiday gifts before we get snowed in for the rest of our lives. Thank the Gods for click and ship. I don't have to stand in line, just walk in with a pile of boxes and dump them off. This is very very useful since I have to do so much shipping cuz of the webshop.
Traffic was scary today. Little tiny Great Falls with people rushing around everywhere so that they don't melt if they get a flake of the evil snow on them. MELTING! What a world!
Later on, as the snow actually began falling, the wail of sirens pierced the quiet scene filled with pretty snowflakes fluttering softly to the ground. Wes told me of several "horrendous" accidents as people who should not be allowed on the roads were sliding (can't call it driving) into other people, T boning each other, etc. etc. Oh the Winter Wonderland...
We're slated to get about 6 inches of snow tonight. I'd better check my bread, milk and toilet paper.
