Photo by cmoakndGood morning, Washington. If you’re reading this at your desk this morning, count yourself among the sorry souls who still had to report to work today despite the thick layer of treacherous frozen water still coating the city. Even DCPS students got the day off today, and those poor kids never get weather-related breaks. Well, if you didn’t end up getting a snow day today, don’t fret. You’ll get another chance tomorrow. Sigh.
Speaking of Tuesday’s Forecast: Upon surveying current conditions and then taking a look at the latest weather map, the Examiner’s Bill Myers concludes we all have snow fatigue. Yeah, granted. But what we really want to know is what to call this next round of winter storms. One reader this morning suggested “snow gotta be f*****g kidding me,” which seems like it’s on the right track.
Hero of the Snowmageddon? The Pizza Man: The Washington Post’s Christian Davenport kinda wins the morning with this report on one brave guy who decided to go ahead and try to deliver pizzas on Super Snowl Sunday. You gotta feel bad for all the delivery places that count on making big stacks of money during the Super Bowl, only to be foiled by two feet of snow. Todd Wiss of Radius Pizza in Mount Pleasant, we salute you.
Briefly Noted: Dulles Airport reopens this morning, while BWI has one runway going and DCA remains closed for now … Thousands still without power in Montgomery County … Advice for today is still to stay home if you can.
This Day in DCist: In 2008, members of Congress were debating the District’s gun laws, and in 2007, newly minted D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier spoke with residents in Logan Circle.
