After two hours and twenty minutes sitting in traffic, with at least another forty minutes before I could possibly get there, I gave up on trying to get into the office today. VDOT has spent the last 36 hours clearing the main roads. The neighborhoods suck, but once you get out, the major thoroughfares are clear, dry, and completely open. Maryland and DC? Not so much. Once I got inside the Beltway, everything just stopped. The Fed is open today, so of course, they're all trying to get back to work. I-66 and US 50 once you get to the Roosevelt? Down to ONE lane. 66 and 50 merge going on to the Roosevelt. That's 5 lanes of incoming traffic. Wisconsin Ave? Still not cleared (which means M street is also still not cleared), so US 29 was also at a standstill. Wilson Blvd? Not moving. Getting into or through Rosslyn? Good luck with that. The Metro is still on limited service, and, just for fun, the Red line is shut down due to a derailment at Farragut North. Basically, you can't do anything in DC proper, and it's fucking up everything surrounding it. Which is, I suppose, normal.

Not going to work.
If the roads had been treated, I'd have probably not turned around and come home, but when I'm sliding around doing 25 - 30 on Fairfax Co. Parkway? Fuck it.
I was going to go in, work for a bit, and come home with the laptop that's currently sitting in its dock on my desk. If I had known yesterday when I left work that snow was even a possibility, I'd have brought it home with me, but I usually only take it home on the weekends.
And we're almost out of milk. This is hilarious, if you have any idea at all about how the DC metro area responds to snow. I wonder if either of the grocery stores nearby have any left?
