So far, I have to say, I have been disappointed with the lack of snowmen and icicles in this town.   All I keep hearing about is this CRAZY  "Snow-mageddon"  / "Snow-pocalypse" that hit DC 2 years ago. Yeah, yeah,  it was the WORST...no one was prepared, people were stranded, the city shut down, bla bla bla.  So this is my second winter here and nothing has been the least bit promising.  Don't get me wrong, I am all about my sunshine, I'm hands-down a summer girl. BUT I am also an avid snow bunny and with these fall temperatures in the winter months, this bunny will see no slopes. Groundhog man said winter shall continue....until today, Groundhog man was on crazy pills. Today, the first glimpse of *real* winter slapped me in the face. Tears formed, the nose ran and all feeling was lost in my face. It was the kind of unexpected betch of a winter day that made crawling underneath my abnormally warm and fluffy duvet soo tempting, but I would not let the weather ruin my Sunday-Funday plans.  Starting out with a hand-bell performance a-la-hubs, a boozy brunch with great company at the Beacon Hotel, a mile.5 walk home, and a fantastic dinner chez les Gills  to finish it off, oh and don't forget the Grammy's.
Take THAT, unexpected arctic climate... PG Wins! Oh...and  PS, is so thrilled you finally decided to show. :)
