Jones in DC: BLIZZARD 2010!

Well, the time has come the walrus said... And I guess since he's a walrus, snow was the only thing it was time for. According to the local weathermen, we are set to endure White Death 2010 for the next 24 to 36 hours. Most of the state is under severe winter weather advisory (for us, since 12:00 am Friday morning until 10:00 pm Saturday), but there are certain places along the coast that are under a blizzard warning. What this means to those of you who are sitting around in your shorts and sock feet is that the wind is supposed to gust upwards of 30 miles an hour which blows the snow so hard that the visibility is reduced to less than 1/4 mile. The prediction are that we are supposed to get between 18-24", and overnight it's supposed to come down between an inch and two inches each hour. HOW AWESOME! I know right?! The kiddos back home are saying, "Oh, Mrs. Jones, we are SOOOO jealous!" That's because you think it's fun to go out and play in the stuff and hit your friends in the faces with wads of wet nastiness. Unfortunately for me, this is not that kind of snow. This is the kind where they have said for two day, "Get everything you need because you won't be able to leave your house. Period." HOW AWESOME! I know right?! Well since we are only 12 hours into this 36 hour blizzard bonanza, I'll leave you with some pics of the accumulation each hour from the start of the misery.
