So I leave Wisconsin and what do I come to? Over 3 feet of snow in DC! My plane slid in on the only open runway in the area, my cabbie held on to the wheel as if his life depended on it (nearly a $100 cab ride) and my hotel is full of residents without power. The silver lining... the city looks amazing!
The update goes as such... landed at 9pm, shared a cab into Bethesda (waited over an hour for it, due to limited service), settled into my hotel, walked about 10 blocks to a 24 hour Diner, enjoyed the wonderful snow, walked back and rested. It is now Monday, the office is closed (due to conditions) so I am working from my hotel, I will be heading over to a co-workers house this afternoon and then heading to the airport around 5pm and on my way to Dubai, inshallah. After a night in Dubai, I fly to Kabul. Looking forward to getting my boots on the ground.
So, I left Green Bay, almost barren of snow, am in DC, chaotically lost in over 2 feet of snow (expecting more) and am heading to Kabul, where I hear they have a 'snow shortage'... I think Al Gore is on to something, you guys! :)
