    P - Glad you made it home safely. Sounds like a hellish commute through the city.

    If only it'd stop snowing so the paths could clear again. We've got the white stuff falling down rather fast right now. I suppose we're looking at 4-6 inches.

    I realize that they are a different breed and much more experienced than I, but I don't know how couriers do it every single day!

    Tired of the snow... And more show showers on Friday and Saturday...

    P - I'm escaping the DC area on Thursday and going to Naples, FL for a long weekend to visit my daughter who's completing a one yr. residency there. Hope to do some riding, beach walking, fine dining, and of course a little shopping. Cannot wait. Looks like my trip will be between snow storms, thank God.

    Sounds like you have a great (timely) weekend planned! Enjoy! And hopefully the snow will all be melted when you come back.

    I decided to ride in today since it may be the last time I commute for a while since we might get 2 feet of snow over the weekend . Commuting on major roads to get into D.C. is a little stressful but also very invigorating. I feel like the city is waking up before my eyes. I did Wisconsin Avenue again but decided to go through the city instead of getting on the snow packed sidewalks near the Kennedy Center. I took M Street to 23rd Street. At times I had no idea where I was. It was dark and I was feeling a little confused on the bike. But then I saw the Lincoln Memorial! And the Washington Monument! And I knew that all was well and I would eventually be able to find my building . I stopped at the Lincoln Memorial and took some photos because there was another beautiful sunrise. So not looking forward to this next storm...

    Will post them this evening but as usual, they are never as good as what you are actually seeing. I was coming in a few weeks ago and had to stop and take a photo of the pink/red/orange sunrise behind the Lincoln. It was gorgeous. But when I looked at the photo that I took, I was disappointed.
