Not That I'm Gloating, But....

It looks like a rough couple of days back home as Winter Storm Snarls Air Traffic (USA TODAY). I know the East Coast has seen some cold days in the past few weeks and my sister and her family in Holland Michigan have seen so much cold and snow that there have been weekends when they haven't even left the house. All of their Super Bowl parties were canceled. And, today my brother, Jamie< is trying to make it back to Pennsylvania from Texas. I know it's not fun.


It was bad here in Rio a few days ago. Ok... well, it was only for an hour or two. A strong storm rolled through Ipanema for a few hours. You could barely see out the window of the apartment.

Back in DC, as my friend Ben Mutzabaugh reports in the USA Today article, Washington National had to shut down early because they ran out of chemicals to fight the ice and snow. Isn't this really the first big storm of the year? And, they ran out of chemicals? Is it that bad or is this poor planning?
