First Snow!

It's here, our first snowfall for the winter of 2007-2008 started a couple of hours ago. Judging by the traffic reports from the Northern Virginia/Washington DC area this is the first time some of these drivers have seen snow!

I haven't looked at the TV yet today. I know I'm not missing anything there except the young and pert assignment reporters delivering breathless video cutaways every 10 minutes as their camera crews focus on the same sign post or bush as in the last cutaway to impress us with the accumulation which as best I can see right now is close to zero. But I know the reporters are out there just in case this becomes a real event and not an imagined one.

Bottom line is if you read about anything at all happening in my area of the republic as a result of this snowfall you can rest easy that it was the ultimate slow news day around these parts.
