Another Snow Storm for the Mid East

m4a1mustang · 02-12-2010, 08:01 AM

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)?

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.

And yes -- Ballston mall is ghetto!

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...

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...

Another mental slip

Its coming again!!!

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

m4a1mustang · 02-15-2010, 12:28 PM

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

BlackCherryZ · 02-15-2010, 01:05 PM

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 *^^*
