Lemme see...last Friday at noon it was +9C and pouring rain. That evening the weather dropped to -26C and the roads turned into skating rinks.... The joys of winter. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggg I am so tired of it all.
I can still see the Woodrow Wilson Bridge out my window, and there's not really any accumulation on I-495 yet, so I'm steadily losing hope for a snow day in Va. tomorrow. :(

Go to your location (say Arlington), zoom out a couple of times and scroll down. It's coming your way - currently around Quantico and coming NE. There's hope for you yet! :-) They've closed schools for our area tomorrow. Right now we have between 2-3 inches and it's coming down hard with big fat juicy flakes!
ETA - Look at the Richmond area. Roads are a mess!
Around here they don't close school for snow. The only time is if there is an ice storm that leaves the roads too hazardous for the buses to navigate. I think they had one day this year.

LOL. 1/2 an inch around here and you're looking at least a 2 hour delay, if not a closing. :-)
My son got a snow day today too (NJ), but they already announced that they have to make it up with a spring break day. This was their only snow day this school year. Spring break was only 4 days this year to begin with, now it will only be 3.
And we're setting heat records in Central Texas. :(
That is why I left Texas!
I'm soo, soooo ready to be out of here myself. :( Problem is, once my hubby finishes up in Afghanistan we want to move to Europe, and there isn't any point in my moving the entire household for a temp stay somewhere cooler. Especially with the housing market the way it is.
We have had very little snow in Colorado with the exception of the mountains which have had a pretty good year for snow. I sort of miss the white stuff. Probably won't see any now. Maybe we will get a storm in March or April, but all signs are pointing to an early spring around here.
We are supposed to get upwards of a foot today. It started snowing after Midnight, and we are in a slight lull right now. They cancelled school, and My daughters gymnastics again.

Update...if you get 6 inches, they cancel school two days in a row. Geeessssh! Kids are out again tomorrow.
I plowed our driveway today and it's clear and dry now; same with the road out front. I don't get it (school closing).
We're all photographers here. As photographers, we all should know that when shooting snow, generally an increase in exposure of 1 to 2 stops is necessary to get white snow.
Light meters treat the snow just like a gray card and exposes it accordingly. Most every time, this is why, when relying on light meters (or automatic mode), snow appears gray in photos.
