2003 was a bad one, too. My aunt and uncle were out of the country and so I trudged 3 miles to their house to shovel the sidewalk in front of their house (no neighbors had done it--unbelievable!!) and shovel the snow off their addition, which has a flat roof. I borrowed my aunt's XC skis and skied back home. For work (private sector--we were open) I ended up skiing to the Metro and then skiing from the Metro station to work. My office was 10 miles away, which was too long for my skiing abilities (or lack thereof). I got some smiles from other folks on the Metro.

We're supposed to get less than an inch down here--there's still time to escape!! Head south, head south!
