Still very dangerous
12:33 p.m. ROUNDUP: Several jursidictions -- most recently Arlington and Fairfax County, have re-issued emergency warnings that we are by no means out of these snowy woods and that blizzard warnings are in effect until 10 p.m. It's easy to forget how dangerous this storm can be; please be careful. In an interview with reporter Ashley Halsey, Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley said he expected conditions to worsen throughout the day during what "we anticpate will be the biggest snow in Maryland history." Meanwhile, D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty said that more than 750 city workers and contractors will work through the weekend to try to get the city open by rush hour Monday morning. "This is certainly as much snow as anyone us have seen in our lifetime," he said.

My sister and her family live in Fairfax County, Virginia. I grew up there as well.
I skyped her today and she was able to show me the view of her front and back yards. It is unbelievable how much snow they are getting there. Fortunately they still have power. Her elderly in-laws were'nt so lucky, so my brother-in-law drove 1 hour in the blizzard to go and pick them up to stay with them. I'm sure that alot of elderly people don't have relatives close by.
