I was going to re-gift it at a Christmas party yesterday that was cancelled due to snow. A play I was supposed to attend at the historic Lincoln Theatre got cancelled too. (Related trivia, 98 people died in the Knickerbocker Theatre when the roof collapsed due to the weight of the biggest snowfall in our city's history, back in January 1922. Yesterday's storm was the biggest in December on record). If I had known my plans would be nixed I probably could have talked a fiend into taking me skiing. I misspelled friend but fiend actually works better in this context. Haha
Snow is a 4-letter word in DC, the region has never reacted well to it and the sheer volume of people that live in the region doesn't help. (I feel sorry for the plows trying to clear the beltway and major arteries while so many people are still out on the road.) I remember being stranded in Rome, Italy when the March storm of 93 hit the east coast. The airlines at the airport in Rome had the police on hand before they started announcing that all flights to the US eastern seaboard had been canceled. January, 1996 saw a pretty good snow storm, as I recall. All-in-all, better a snow storm than an ice storm.
