March 6 brought a late winter snowquestration of sorts to Northern Virginia. Knowing school would be cancelled the night before, we bunked with our friends so the kids could hang together on the day off school. The forecast led us to believe we'd be facing a foot of snow. The government offices were closed, schools shut down, lots of closures. As the snow fell on the warm ground, thick slush formed. It looked white and fluffy from a distance but was really just like playing in puddles. Everyone was soaked when they came inside! We spent the rest of the day playing games and watching the "snow" fall. Towns farther west did get a bit more accumulating snow so school was rightfully delayed the next morning as well.
