Are those even states? I thought they were just football programs.

True. Like @MOXOMUMD said, it's perspective. Like how Southerners think MD is in the north, Northerners think we are in the south, and as my fellow MDers will confirm, we are neither.
As a northerner, I would say Maryland is more a northern state than southern. However, I would probably say it's in the east.

The Eastern shore is more southern, and to a lesser degree the western counties too. The DC suburbs are more northern. I'm not sure about Baltimore. It may be the most mixed.

So maybe we should call the MD area the Middle East-Coast. Would be great for when customs asks you where you are from.

So true...Texas is like two different states pushed together. East Texas and Texas. Two totally different flora /fauna and terrains.

That could certainly get one strip searched fast.

She liked walking around in the snow, but she kept going in circles, the picture with me in it is me trying chasing her, but she just kept sniffing the snow and walking in circles. I eventually just picked her up and carried her around. Then we talked to some new neighbors, and she growled at them and when one tried to pet her, she backed away from the hand and opened her mouth almost as if to bite it.
How cute.
There is something about a small dog being held by their owner that brings out the kujo in some of those Pups. I always ask my clients to put their Pups down before I interact with the Pup. I'm not sure if it is because their mouth is all they have control of while being held, or if the Pup believes their owner is being reached at? Protective response? Maybe both. It happens more often than not.

Finally home from my ice cold office. I bought an "extra hot" cafe Viennese before leaving downtown... In the fifteen minutes (ten spent in car) it took to get home, it's completely cold. However, still tasty. Yeah, it's pretty cold here.
Heat wave tomorrow, though... 32 degrees!

I guess I can't find fault. Public Works did their best for out of the ordinary weather. We had a blizzard 2011. We are prepared for snow, blizzards not so much. The snow sealed all of our doors, the Pup could wiggle out but there was no where to go to (so he crawled under the picnic table and pee'd under there, oy) It took my DH and I a full day to clear just the driveway and a narrow path to it, drifts up to the eves. But I didn't fault Public Works, if they were out they'd be driving blind behind the wheel of a big rig.
And small town USA:
One of our residents had a heart attack during that storm. The fire fighters called for Public Works assistance. The fire truck and and ambulance followed the plow to the home. Plow waited. Plow then escorted the ambulance to the hospital 2 towns away. When being awarded a metal of honor at the next town meeting when asked the plow driver said he could see nothing really, he guided the plow between the electrical and telephone poles on each side of the road and prayed he didn't hit a median with the plow. The heart attack victim lived and attended the plow drivers recognition. Everything was closed that day, but when the plows came out our local Pizza Pub owner,alone, no staff, by himself went in and fixed up pizza and meals for the drivers as none of them had access to food during the grueling long hours of the blizzard and for our police department. His thank you to those who do there best.

That was really the issue, not so much the snow. A greater metro area of around 6.5 million people all hitting the roads at about the same time.
It was as much a reflection of the limitations of our road systems here (85 corridor northbound, Jimmy Carter / Holcomb Bridge, 400 Northbound, 75 Northbound, downtown connector). These things always clog up. But, increase the traffic volume, and toss in snow and abandoned cars on the road (there were a lot, many people literally ran out of gas waiting in traffic) and you have the nightmare we saw yesterday.
To give some perspective, I drove a total of ~4 miles, all non-major roads, yesterday. It took me 3 hours.

Well our never ending car saga. Green car defrosted enough to start today on the first try without needing to charge the battery. Woot!!! 
But 'ole blue had green running out underneath. Joy Joy Radiator cracked. That car had work done late this summer and had antifreeze replacement at the time. Antifreeze didn't live up to its name.
So now we have Red, Black and Green, 3 of the 5 cars up and running. 'Ole White will have to wait 'till Sunday when DH can charge that battery, Blue will feel fine after a $400 operation. Joy Joy By next Wednesday the temps will go well below zero again. Joy Joy, weather rerun season.

Sure was. Though, it was my own fault. I was working from home yesterday, and we closed down all our locations at 3p. So, I had no reason to work so I decided to go to the grocery store which is 1.2 miles from my house to pick up stuff to make a 3bean chili recipe I'd picked up. The drive to Publix wasn't bad. Took about 15 minutes. But, that's because I was going against the grain of traffic. When I got there, Publix had just decided to close. So, I took an access road and a side road back to my house stopping by a gas station along the way. That leg of the trip was 1.9 miles and that's what took so long to get back.
I did make it to the gas station though, and thank goodness it was a QT. They have a really good hot dog setup there. So, I picked up a soda and two hot dogs and quite literally ate my dinner while waiting in traffic...for nearly 2.5 hours...to go about a mile.
Yeah, going to the store was a bad idea.
But, I did it to myself. In some ways it was actually relaxing. Getting to watch all the carnage, people not knowing how to drive in the snow, and I flipped through the radio several times.
I will admit, I did use my cel phone to play around on the wdwmagic site and other things while I waited...I don't think I endangered anyone with that.
I was quite literally driving with my brake pedal. I didn't have to touch the gas much at all.

I had 3 coffees today as part of my effort to feel warm at work. I'm still feeling a little jittery. Even after the "calming tea" I had in the late afternoon.
