Made the stop at the store after work today. Schools are closed for tomorrow. Snow is supposed to start tomorrow morning and crank up from there. During the storm just before Christmas we didn't see a plow for 4 or 5 days. We are planning a "You Are Close Enough To Walk" party for Saturday night and already have a good number of people who have agreed to walk to our house. Anyone else around the Mid-Atlantic have plans for the weekend snowstorm?

I'll be getting a part of the storm, but not the part you are getting.. Seems as though all the good storms are just to our south this year...

We (near Baltimore) are expecting about 20". I got gas for the snowblower yesterday and the wife went to the store. She had to go to store anyway, but unfortunately it coincided with the rest of the world going. She waited for 1 hour in the checkout line and even had to go exchange her ice cream while waiting, since it had melted by the time she reached the register.
I love the people around here who buy a year's supply of milk, bread, and toilet paper. At most, we'll be in for 2 days. I guess they plan on sitting around, eating bread sandwiches, drinking milk, and pooping the whole time.
I also can get some stuff done on the 110.
Good luck in VA, Dan. Hope you see a plow a little quicker this time around.

Yeah, see that's what happened at the end of December. We got about 18" of snow on Saturday, but the plow never came through until Wednesday. Where are you gonna go when there are 18" of snow packed on the road and your only car is a Mustang GT? lol Time to get a used SUV. Of course, do that and we'll go years without a snowstorm. I'll take pics!

Good luck to you guys on the East Coast! Sounds like you are in for quite a storm. Not much snow here in Michigan unfortunately for the winter sports enthusiasts. Tim

You'd think the world was ending with the way the grocery store parking lots looked. Fortunately I don't have to go into DC for work today, and traffic was nice and light since all the schools are closed.
I have never seen people react to snow like around here, especially growing up in CT and going to school in upstate NY. Cars just get left in the middle of the road, crashes everywhere. But I guess thats not too far from a normal traffic day in DC.

Here in Southern Ontario, we've virtually had no snow. Kinda glad I sold 1 of my snowmobiles last year now. Wouldn't have been able to ride.
I've been working soooo hard since Jan. 4th and am finally home for a bit, I think I'll walk to Halehouse's place and party. I'm long over due.

Someone posted on Facebook that they went to the store and got the last onion. THE LAST ONION!
I saw on the Weather Channel that we have had the same amt. of snow to the tenth inch as Cleveland has had this season. This storm should be in our "top 5" biggest.
