    We got 28 inches in my neighborhood, according to the Washington Post.  It was nuts!  We lost power Friday night and got it back mid-day Saturday (thank heavens).  Lost cable, phone & internet from Friday at 6 p.m. until a couple of hours ago.  And we're supposed to get more this week - yuck!!  Here are some pics of my car buried, my street, my daughter (in the white coat).

    Miss D'Orsay, my fiance and I both work for the federal government and are so so happy not to have work tomorrow! We were stir crazy yesterday so went on a four mile hike in Rock Creek (which caused terrible blisters on my heels from my Hunter Wellingtons) and it was so fun to encounter so many other neighbors/DC'ers around. We were supposed to host a Super Bowl party tonight but because of bus service, it was just us. I spent most of the night working on our registries and guest list. This weather is crazy! I'm never home so I'm sure my fiance is so sick of me at this point! Thank goodness for wine and cocktails!

    Federal government closed Tuesday as well!! And with the impending storm it will most likely be closed on Wednesday as well!! FSIL has been here since Thursday evening and was supposed to fly out yesterday, obviously canceled, then today her 2nd flight was canceled now she is supposed to fly out tomorrow morning at 9 AM but she doesnt have an official seat yet because of how overbooked the flights are!!! I cant believe all of this snow!

    I am so sick of snow, too, but I feel like I'm a kid again with all the snow days off from work, haha.

    Ugh. Even though we get DC Locality Pay down in Southern Maryland, we are not included in the Federal Government snow closures unless they list Patuxent River Naval Air Station on closures list. Which has not happened since Hurricane Isabel in '03. Boo. I hate taking vacation leave when I can't get to work!

    I can't get to work, either, and I have to use my vacation leave for this week.  I tried to get to work today but I don't have 4 wheel drive and it was a disaster.  I went two miles before giving up (work is 30 miles away).

    I'm super bummed because I've been saving my vacation time for the honeymoon, and now I'll have to take our honeymoon mostly unpaid.  :(

    This is freaking ridiculous, with MARC service canceled, and Metro only underground I really hope the OPM closes the fed gov't tomorrow!
