Forecast: 1-2 inches of snow plus mass hysteria

i know i'm not supposed to say anything about work, but this is more of a DC thing anyway. i have been at the office for about an hour and have already received two e-mails and half a dozen verbal forewarnings that the next two days are going to be weather catastrophes that shut the whole damn city down. snow days at school, snow days at work. i can't remember ever having this much anticipation for a weather event, well, ever. two inches of snow. two. inches. granted, there's gonna be some freezing rain or something, but this place has got to be a little more roll with the punches. at least there's no lite-brite bomb scare here.
