Sorry, RT--we ARE having a snow day here.  It started snowing just after six am and didn't slow down at all until almost 11.  We've had several days of below-freezing high temps, so it's all stuck around and the world is gloriously white.  They're not expecting it to start warming up until at least tomorrow, so we may be home tomorrow as well.
Note to ncs: The big blizzard(s) in DC that shut everything down were in 1996, not 1995.  I know because I was supposed to be in DC for two short weekends totalling 4 days visiting with my then boyfriend.  Because of weather shutdowns, it ended up being 9 days together that really cemented our relationship.  We got engaged when I proposed on Leap Day, and we've lived happily ever after.
Watched the GGs last night, and I totally concur with DS/BRC in re Helen Mirren's dress.  I also liked Hilary Swank's dress, and concur with Fugee that there was not enough color.  I had to rewind and rewatch Martin Scorsese's eyebrows, and I think it would have been hard to improve upon Meryl Streep's acceptance speech.
Finally, please forgive me for this small amount of fam spam.  Please go 
here  and give my little brother a five-star rating (please ignore completely cheesy video which was pretty bad even before it got de-synched some time in the upload process).
