The Ice Storm.

So when I think about an "ice storm" I think of something that looks like this:



What I learned after going through the debacle that was The District's ice storm last night, is that ice storms just looks like rain from the inside of the car. It isn't until you get out of the car that you see the foot long icicle perpendicular to your antenna. I also learned that it sucks to be stuck in traffic during an ice storm.

I left school right at 4:30 so that I could rush to my polling place to vote before I left for the College of William & Mary. I was going to be doing recruitment for the school there and was actually very excited for the opportunity to represent my school. Sad to say that after 5 hours of "driving" I was a mere 10 miles away from school -- just barely into Arlington, VA. Keep in mind that the entire trip was supposed to take 3 hours.

Three of the interstates I needed to use were closed and the surface streets were not moving at all. I somehow made it to the hotel after 9 and a half hours. Fortunately, I did meet and interview some promising candidates -- so ultimately worth many freak-outs and some sleep deprivation.
