We were at Camelback and it is pretty much the same as it always is except that my favorite slope, the <b>Nile Mile<\/b> has been changed to a blue square from a double green circle. That makes a lot of sense to me, the slope is not too hard, but is not easy either. I love attacking that hill, it take me about five minutes to get down when I really push myself.<\/p>\n<p>Oh and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yurasko.net\/wfy\/2010\/02\/review-yoccos.html\">we finally hit Yocco&#8217;s for their hot dogs<\/a> on the return trip.<\/p>\n<p>On the way back, we hit snow at about the Mid-County interchange of the Northeast Extension (I-476) and yet saw no snow removal equipment. As we got onto I-95 the conditions were quite slushy, until we hit Maryland. Let me praise the Maryland Transportation Authority for the superior job they did on the John F. Kennedy Memorial Highway section of I-95 &#8212; the conditions were exceptional given the weather. We could comfortably go over 50 m.p.h. DelDot and PennDot, you blew it. The former I expected, despite numerous boasts about Pennsylvania&#8217;s snow-readiness by expatriates when compared to BeltwayLand, to do much better. For shame PennDot, for shame. Delaware, most I-95 is a toll road in your state, so you don&#8217;t have any excuses either.<\/p>\n<p>Back in Northern Virginia, I did not get a chance to measure the snow. Sorry internet, I know how much you like photos of rulers in snow. I did take my son sledding at my folks house in Vienna though. That was pretty sweet. Grandee got to pull her grandson around the block in a little red sled too.<\/p>\n<p>It looks like we&#8217;re in for <a href=\"http:\/\/voices.washingtonpost.com\/capitalweathergang\/2010\/02\/two_storms_to_be_possible_snow.html\"><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">more snow later this week<\/span><\/a> (<span style=\"font-style:italic;\">Capital Weather Gang<\/span>), so I&#8217;ll be better about the ruler everybody.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">&copy;MMX William F.
