I work slightly west of that map, and live near the "Cleveland Park" label. It looks like it would take at least an hour to get onto a main road, let alone get anywhere.

But it is definitely snow where I am.

More of a slightly upsetting, but not really upsetting.
Last year I my thyroid was goiter and had nodules on it, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's. I've been on meds, so I had a follow up appointment last week. The thyroid is normal size now and my blood work is normal. On Mon I had to have an ultrasound to make sure all of my nodules shrunk, just got the results for that today. One of them did not shrink, so now I am going to have to have biopsy to make sure it is not cancer. Its not a high risk or urgent, my brain says its not a big deal, but I'm still feeling somewhat anxious. I also don't even want to start thinking about the costs .

beest went through all this, it's not a big deal. And it's way cheaper than breaking a limb or having suspected appendicitis.

I was looking out the window at about 8PM and saw a limb fall out of the tree across the street and land on the cars in the neighbors driveway. So I went out and moved our car further up the driveway to get out from under our tree. Then I got out a fiberglass pruning pole and banged all the wet snow out of the tree branches that I could reach.

It was amazing, every minute or two, I'd hear another limb somewhere in the neighborhood cracking and falling down. The snow was really heavy and sticky. We lost power at 9:30, so I went to bed early. Came back on at around 3AM. We didn't lose any limbs, but walking to the Metro this morning, there are limbs down all over the place and lots of low hanging phone/cable wires.

Edit: Just heard from my boss. It took her 7 hours to get home, 4 miles away. Holy crap.

I left at 9:20 and got home at 2. About 30 miles.

I was so happy I found a parking space.
