SNOW!!

That's right, it snowed here yesterday. It started falling around 3 PM and continued until about 10 PM. We got about 2 inches before it changed over to sleet and rain. It's supposed to rain tonight and stay above freezing, so it won't last long.

The local newscast at 6 PM was hilarious. They had correspondents stationed all around the region, reporting breathtakingly on the accumulations. We were informed that VDOT was applying a "100% salt mixture" to the road" (if it's 100%, why is it a mixture). We were warned not go out, as the roads were treacherous. This went on for 20 minutes, before we received a report on Old Dominion University's women's basketball team. Yup. That was our news for the night. It's snowing, and Wendy's taking it to the hoop.

The best moment was when the weatherman warned about conditions outside the region, stating that it was unsafe to travel to the north, west, or, south. With the Atlantic Ocean sitting there due east, we were pretty much hemmed in! Fun.
