Snow
I’m worried about the people in DC fighting over fresh vegetables and empty shelves as another 10-20 inches of snow arrives. And I received an alarming email yesterday from someone on the Eastern Shore, saying there was no power, no hope of being dug out any time soon, and an elderly neighbor who couldn’t cope with the cold any longer. The government will be closed again tomorrow.
The Facebook creation of a 2000-person-strong snowball fight in Dupont Circle is a good moment for social networks. It’s hard not to love #snowpocalypse and #snowmageddon. I remember “snow-lympics” that my generation held in DC, but we probably arranged that by plodding one-off phone calls. (I also remember the managing partner of my law firm dispairingly saying after that week-long closure: “What happened to all those hours? Did the clients just not need the work?”) My favorite new tag is #snoverkill.
Meanwhile, in Ann Arbor, nothing. Not that I’m complaining.
