I know snow pictures are fun and interesting, but I'm avoiding facebook (plus I only have my work laptop which forbids access for facebook) because I know it'll be nothing but ZOMG SNOW pictures and comments. Though, I'm trashing this with snow comments. I mean I feel like I understand the snow pictures "Look at this thing I see every day, only covered under feet of snow! See this street? No people, all snow! Look at this tree I know all leaning with snow!" It's interesting but not necessarily as fascinating if you don't see that particular thing every day. I did dig the snow sculptures put on the park benches though.

Some of the accumulation figures make no sense: Rosslyn, 18", Ballston (3 miles away) 28"?

Finished shoveling yesterday. Learned some minor things:
1) working out with squats keeps your back strong so shoveling snow is no big deal, no soreness, no muscle fatigue, cake. Not using grips on deadlifts is 100% win for shoveling for my snow.
2) passive-aggressive is deciding not to vandalize the car parked at a 45 deg angle blocking half the street from plowing - but instead shoveling out the orange fire hydrant next to them
3) bars were open and doing gangbuster business, including ours
4) nothing wrong with drinking at home either, especially while making a veggie dish and replenishing brownies (hey, we shoveled a lot!)
5) Gay and art-school mecca not filled with superbowl noises
6) Superbowl commericals filled with insane amounts of incredibly offensive insecure "masculinity" preaching. It seems a great way to sell things is to pat "men" on the head and assure them using x product is the essence of being mannish. Twits.
