Snow in Your Nation's Capital: Panic!

UPDATE: We got probably less than an inch of snow. I biked home with the snow softly falling and it was beautiful. I've wanted to bike in a snow shower all winter and now that I've got my wish, come on spring! Of course, we're supposed to get a bit of a winter storm tonight and tomorrow and right now it's 21 degrees. Look for more panic and turmoil here tomorrow after the white stuff falls.

Everyone who lives here in DC knows we overreact to snow or the threat of snow. It's a common inside joke. And though we know we overreact we keep doing it.

The weather service has issued a snow advisory for this afternoon meaning we might, just might get snow. A whopping one to two inches.

We're one hour into the advisory period.

It has not started snowing.

But we're already losing our minds. Here's what's already been canceled (read this list and know, if terrorists really wanted to bring Washington to its knees, forget dirty bombs. Drop a couple of inches of snow on us):
