Snow me.
The federal government is open today and I'm conflicted.
On the one hand, it means that I have to go to work. Although I'm not a federal employee myself, we close when they do. Any day I can play in the snow instead of work is a good day as far as I'm concerned.
On the other hand, I'm glad we didn't get into the same morass we did during Hurricane Isabel. If the trains are running and the main roads are sufficiently clear, people should go to work, period. In a city so legendary for its tendency to freak out at the first sign of snow, it's nice to see people buck up, if only to shut up those northerners (myself included) who call people wimps for staying home with accumulations of less then two feet. If D.C. is to ever get a reputation for being a place where things work reliably, we need to learn to slog through the snow.

You know, some of us don't get snowdays even when the Fed closes. And even in the snow, we walk to work! Which means that we ought to unionize or something.
