So Tom came home from work Wednesday night and said they were pretty sure the powers that be were going to call for another snow day on Thursday. He had already arranged for Friday off (he's trying to burn through all the days he's owed) and has Monday off for President's Day.
Sure enough, the snow started coming Wed. about 9 pm and within a couple of hours we got the automated call that schools and govt. were going to be shut down.
We slept in till 8 AM Thursday then headed to the gym to work out. The weather was ALL OVER the local news.
We were relaxed all day and watched Paint Your Wagon and a couple of other old movies while we played Racko.
Then once the pool opened at 5 pm we headed over there. It's just across the parking lot. No lifeguard but the door was open so we helped ourselves. Had the place all to ourselves for the hour.
It started snowing again and we settled in with the Olympics for the rest of the evening. There was a car outside our window in the middle of the street. I assumed they were stuck so Tom went out to see if he could help but it turned out it was a couple maybe having a little bit of a domestic dispute. Said they were fine and didn't need any help. Another car pulled up and parked behind them and they stayed there for about an hour. Weird. Anyway, once Tom had been outside he was all stoked to be back out in the elements. He wanted us to hop on the metro and go into DC but it was 10 PM, I was in pi's and was having none of it. Talked him out of it but we decided we'd get up in the AM and go then.
