Snow Day! - Woo hoo, it was quite a Sunday in Washington, as the WaPo reports. We're expecting the total snowfall to surpass the 17.1 inches recorded in January 1996, but probably fall short of the biggest snow storm ever to hit Washington -- the "Knickerbocker" storm on Jan. 27-28, 1922 which blanketed the city with 28 inches of the white stuff. Jamie and I took advantage by sledding down hills and behind 4x4 trucks, then came in for his famous cherry amaretto cocoa. The scenery was beautiful, perfectly timed to snuff out terrorist worries. Check out the pictures.
