Dagny - like you I lived inside the beltway my last (final) time in DC. I'd been stuck on the roads (301/295/495) enough the first two times and went with an old Alexandria condo rather than something newer much further out. It was great, everything I needed was within a short walk and the metro took care of the rest. My bike was set up for the Old Town cobblestones. Have fun.
It is a blessing to have everything nearby. I don't even really need to own a car but like the convenience when I want to go to Virginia (and in the interest of preparedness must have a car).
My neighborhood roads still are treacherous -- they are untreated and the puny snow we got last night turned to ice. Cars are sliding into intersections, slipping up the slightest inclines and I just saw a bicyclist crash when his bike went out from under him. I hope the sun is out for a few hours, that is the only hope for the roads and sidewalks.
This is going to impair some peoples efforts today to prepare for tomorrow's blizzard. I just realized last night that I should get more wiper fluid so that's my project.
