Snowquester Strikes Washington, DC

Lack of effective bipartisan leadership led to Sequestration being triggered March 1st. As across the board cuts impact defense and non-defense budgets, a number of activities will be curtailed, including air shows and Blue Angels demonstrations. Below is the funniest, yet sobering visual of sequestration's impact.

Snowquester also struck the greater DC region this week. Capital Weather Gang and other media sources over-hyped the late winter storm's potential impact. In light of the impending 6-12 inches of mixed precipitation, the federal government closed, area schools were closed, and the stores were emptied of the essentials. Due to the forecast, my boss decided we should work from home. The husband's office was closed too.

We were both able to a lot of work from home, and I even managed to squeeze in a good workout in the morning. The husband headed out into the rain (yes, snowstorms in DC are more often only rain) for a haircut. He picked up burritos for us and we split them to avoid having to choose.
