Global Warming Blankets DC
Schools and many government offices in the Washington area closed for the day on Wednesday as snow began to blanket the region, the first wave of a storm that forecasters said could dump five to 10 inches inside the Capital Beltway and significantly more to the north and west.Is Al Gore scheduled into DC today? There was six inches of snow on my patio table at 7 am. The Office of Personnel Management decided shortly before 4 a.m. to close all federal offices in the D.C. area for the day. Major school systems -- including the District, Alexandria, and Arlington, Fauquier, Fairfax and Prince William counties in Virginia; and Montgomery, Howard and Prince George's counties in Maryland -- announced that they would shut down. Government offices in the District and Arlington, Montgomery and Loudoun counties were closed; Fairfax County announced that its government would open on time.  If the predicted accumulations materialize, it will be by far the biggest snowstorm in the Washington region in the last two years.The storm two years ago was a doozy! The Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang is predicting five to 10 inches total accumulation inside the Capital Beltway, and seven to 14 inches further west. With much I wimped out, but when I called in, it seemed most of the office had done the same. I will go in Saturday to do the updates I was planning to do today. Posted by: Bobby 2013-03-06 |
