It’s been almost eighteen hours since the snow stopped falling, and things still aren’t back to normal around here:
Yesterday’s slush-turned-snowstorm had been mostly plowed and shoveled by this morning, but many schools said they would open two hours late and several school systems in the outer Virginia suburbs closed altogether.
What started as chilly rain Sunday morning snowballed, so to speak, turning into a brief blizzard that brought as much as 7 1/2 inches of the white stuff to some areas, along with fender benders, power outages and gleeful opportunities for sledding and snow sculpting.
This morning, public schools in Prince William, Loudoun, Fauquier, Stafford and Culpeper counties closed for the day. D.C. and Arlington public schools and the federal government said they will open on time, while school systems in Fairfax, Montgomery, Prince George’s, Howard, Anne Arundel and Frederick counties, as well as Alexandria, Falls Church City, Manassas Park and Manassas City announced one- or two-hour delays.
Wimps.
