Good morning.
In D.C., we're still under a Winter Storm Warning. It's going to be "record-breaking" snow for December, we've been told. Local news said to expect 12 to 20 inches in the city. There's a blizzard warning for Prince Georges County, which is on the eastern border of the city, and several other Maryland counties. UDPATED at 9:30 a.m.: DC has a blizzard warning now, too.
I did manage to get Petey out for a walk. He's averse to walking in the rain, but is okay with snow. I think we have around six inches already. Petey managed fine. And, to my great surprise, a plow had already gone done my street. I didn't expect to see a plow til Tuesday (and may not see another one til then.) Admittedly, I get a little excited about major winter storm events. It's the Mainer in me.
The Senate is in session today -- and voting on the Defense appropriation this morning, which Republicans had filibustered earlier this week. UPDATE @ 8:30 a.m.: The Senate just passed the Defense spending bill by a vote of 88 - 10.
