Snow day

Friday afternoon, we began to get the first of what would be about 9 inches of snow. Not much when you consider what was to hit the D.C. area, but it was one of the biggest snowfalls of the year.

When weather hits, you have a few choices.

1. Panic. Join hundreds of your closest friends at the grocery store (as if you couldn't make it 24 hours otherwise!). Fall to concerns that it may be slick (hint: it's that way when it rains, too) and drive home from work early.

2. Go with the ride and enjoy the beauty of the day.
