The Big Storm That Wasn't.

Today was a stay-at-home day. Yesterday, the forecasters were predicting 10 inches of snow - a debilitating amount here in the DC suburbs - and as a result everything came to a standstill. Schools closed, government went on leave, civic groups cancelled, and we decided to sleep in!

We enjoyed a nice brunch of french toast, Virginia smoked bacon, red grapes, yogurt, and mango juice while the world outside was having fits and starts. You see, the big snow never came! We received a scant 3 inches here in the 'country', and the inner burbs got even less.

It wouldn't be Washington without cries for investigations and allegations of wrongdoing, and today's 'free' day at home for the kids was no exception. For our part, we relaxed, talked, and took our leisure. We went to the mall for a short while later in the afternoon, which was all but abandoned.

No caching today, although we were tempted. We were just SO lazy that the day drove right by us! I'll be in Dallas meeting with the FAA and my colleagues this week - perhaps I'll be able to sneak in some caches while there!
