I'm at work already, snow showers started around 7:30AM down here.

Probably a wise choice. Fairfax is getting hammered from what I can see.

Yeah -- just got the e-mail that the office is officially closed for the day.

Looking at WTOP traffic cams all of the major roads are covered pretty well with snow.

4th day in a row, Fed is closed! My week is officially over before it began!

Quote the above!

Holy crap! Never thought this would happen.

200 miles on a new Z and haven't pulled it out of it's garage spot since last Thursday...

Modern Warfare 2 and Halo 3 and my gym are certainly paying off.

Damn Fed. I'm going to be going in tomorrow for sure...

I just watched someone tryin to get out of my driveway...some random person.. It was hilarious idk why they were there in the first place. It took them about 20min to get across the street

A little off topic, but it's short:
How to handle snow around the house - washingtonpost.com


They left out changing/or cleaning the filters for forced air heating and/or furnaces!

I have work all three days and most likely the rest of the week too.

At least Monday is a (Paid) Federal Holiday. :tup:

Back to Work -- is Winter Done....?
 

Finally back to the office tomorrow (at least for a day) -- tired of shoveling snow, and looking at the Z sitting in the carport just waiting for Spring....

Did you paid $400 for that cover?

Back in the office and leaving at noon. Metro was a total CF.

I'm in too. Traffic is a mess out in NOVA due to ginormous potholes. Ugh.

I have to run over to the ghetto Ballston mall this afternoon and was contemplating taking the woman out of the garage but now that you mention potholes (nevermind the extensive sand and salt), I might just bite on the woodblock and take the Metro...

I love snow but this is now a little much.

Anyone take their Z out (those who have it as their only car)?

I'm at work trying to catch up today. Thank God it's Friday! ;-)

My Z has been with my parents for the last two weeks. They were nice enough to let me borrow their Buick and even it is having issues with grounding out on some of the rutted snowy roads.

I have a feeling road quality this year is going to be a mess... this winter is hell on the road surfaces and I don't think there's money in the state budget to fix everything. :shakes head:

And yes -- Ballston mall is ghetto!

Hell yeah! Trucks @ Daytona tonight, Nationwide tomorrow, The 500 on Sunday. Awesome weekend for racing. :driving:

and... iRacing league race tonight and iRacing Daytona 500 tomorrow! :tiphat:

:iagree:

definitely, too much snow this winter..........and not over yet.........more to come on sunday/monday..........

nonetheless, this thunder blizzard is once in a life time event in NOVA area, for it was about 90 years ago the area had the comparable weather condition.........

my car too is sitting in the garage............ just cant wait to bypass the break-in period................seems like it's going to take forever..........

also, i would be cautious taking out my Z............very reluctant.........for there are many potholes as mentioned......especially on the ramp from I66 to 495 and in annandale area.......... it would be costly to fix all the holes and cracks throughout the area...... ultimately, the citizens have to pay for the repair...:icon14:

Not outright -- after we'd come to agreement on the price and I was about to sign, I "fanageled" the car cover being thrown in for free as a "deal breaker" -- of course that probably means I paid $600 for it...<grin>

Good to hear there are some NASCAR fans in the Forum -- I was afraid I'd have to keep that fact quiet....<grin>

I hear you all but unfortunately, I do not have a beater or winter warrior to get around.

Good news is the Ballston Mall is off the list but I have to take a quick trip to Potomac Yard. I'll just have to be careful and deal with it.

Metroing to Old Town for beers though!

It may be safer driving the way the Metro system is doing nowadays. ;-)

Yeh no sh-t! At least I am not on the Death Line. I'm a Yellow Line rider, flowin' down the golden stream...

:ughdance: Another mental slip :tup:

Hey dumbass... You driving your Z now? :tiphat:

I bet xiven is the guy from Texas that made that comment in another thread.

Will see if he drove the Z this past Saturday when Texas got pounded with snow.

:shakes head:

Its coming again!!!

1230 Hours: I can see the snow on radar not too far South & West of Fairfax!

Seems like light accumulation, 1-3" at most.

SUPPOSEDLY, one inch late afternoon and another inch by midnight..........

but who cares................after 32 inches of the first bout, anything less is just insignificant *^^*

6-10 for me....gaaayyyy
________
WEED

Not to beat a dead horse, but it's not even the lousy weather conditions but more so the fact that there are so many jackasses out on the roads who can't navigate them in the condition they are in.

But I guess, based on xiven's observations, that I should accept the risk of getting my Z rear ended by some schmo who can't properly adjust his or her stopping distance...

Snow has yet to start.

WOW, NY, NJ and PA are taking a pounding with this current snow storm.

Be safe guys!!!!!
