I Am Not Making This Up: On Wednesday, the Maryland counties around Washington, D.C., area received 2 inches of snow. As a result of the snow, the city of Gaithersburg, Md., canceled part of its winter festival for the day.

This is the time of year when I both treasure the fact that I live away from winter storms (Hooray not being in Omaha during the ice storm!!!) and regret it (white Christmas? Hah!...brown, sure...green possibly, white, never).
Add in that noone around here knows how to drive in a snowstorm, or a flurry, or a potential flurry...or if someone named "Snow" is visiting town...and it's a little troublesome at times...
But ahh well.
