There’s no season like soup season.

We had our very first snowfall of the year last week. Super early for DC standards since it doesn’t usually snow until mid-January. In usual DC fashion, federal offices were open on time, but the roads were practically undriveable (yes I just made that word up). Of course, I had a meeting downtown bright and early. I decided to take the metro, since getting into the city even without snow is what nightmares are made of. Well, I made it all the way in, and had just gotten off at the closest metro stop (which still had me walking about 15 minutes to the meeting) when I got a text letting me know the meeting was changed to call-in only. Convenient. So what did I do? I put myself back on the metro but instead of heading home, I went to the metro nearest my office. Snow in the burbs was the worst. Just imagine slushy snowcone roads. God bless the genius behind uber! (more…)
