Over the last past two months the Washington metropolitan area has had one major snow storm and one minor snow storm. We are currently buckling down for a record breaking blizzard that could dump fifteen to thirty inches of snow on the DC tristate area. I was able to work from home today so no commute thank goodness. If we get anywhere close to the amount of snow they are predicting I have no idea when I’ll start my commute up again because… wait for it.. MORE snow is predicted for Tuesday. It will be a long, long time before I’m able to ride my bike again and depending on public transportation is going to be tricky. But hey, for now I’m warm and safe inside and I’m grateful to be able to telecommute. While I wait for “The Big One” here are some photos from my MARC train window the other day.
