Here in Manassas, VA I am in the bullseye of the "meterological bomb". So far only 6" on the patio table where it accumulates first. I have to keep shoveling a path to a patch of grass for a 16-17 yr old dog we're sitting to have a spot to go. I shoveled it just before I began this email and it is already has a heavy powdered sugar coating. Just noticing the trees are moving a little bit from winds. Luckily where I live the power lines are not above ground. I have a friend who is at the Washington Capitols game at the Verizon Center in DC. I'm anxious to hear how the ride home will be.
