WaPo - What a @#$%^&*! day

Friday, February 12, 2010 at 8:24PM

The front page of the local Washington Post site today pretty much sums up today:

Since we were on a 2 hour delay this morning, I slept in till 8am! I left the apartment by 8:30 (the normal time I get to the office). I thought by giving myself TWO full hours I would be able to make it to work by my start time of 10:30. By 9:20am, I gave up. I had made it A metro stop. Yes. one. single. metro. stop. in my 50 minutes commute.

Checking Twitter was a lifesaver. I found:

Then a train derailed!

I am so glad I turned around and went back home this morning. My biggest question is, HOW was metro NOT prepared for the commute this morning? Yesterday was a clear day. The Fed wasn't open. They should have been working more diligently to clear the tracks. This is inexcusable. To reward us, we get a fare hike on March 1st. Thank you WMATA.

Well, the Fed is still closed and we are still stuck in our apartment. Luckily, we have some built-in entertainment! Meet Scarlet - The Snow Catcher.

It finally stopped snowing

We decided to trek through our neighborhood now that the snow as stopped. The Carlyle neighborhood has done a great job with the sidewalks because most are completely clear. Here is a shot that Joel took on our walk.

As my photos and videos are processed I will add them to this post. Stay safe and warm! Remember, we get part 3 on Tuesday night.

Here is the video we shot walking through the Carlyle neighborhood of Alexandria, VA. This was about 1 hour after the snow stopped.

I will be updating the sideshow as the blizzard continues. These pictures were taken mostly from the apartment in Alexandria, VA between February 5th & 6th. We just ventured outside to get the view from street level.
