I'm kind of jealous of all the snow; dallas hasn't had anything but a bit of a dusting all year. Just as well though since I'm flying out on monday morning and I get awful nervous flying in snow and ice.

it stopped here. but no worries. no where to go tommorrow and stoneys grocery will probably be open again, and thats a fairly easy walk even in this stuff.

there are some aspects of weathering a storm like this in the city that i like.

but i don't have my mutts or my snow clothes for a good romp. hopefully there may be enough left by the time i get home to take the downhill skis out (which i have only done once before on my property) just for poops and giggles.

My son's flight was canceled for today. Looks like we get to try again tomorrow. We are close to the Northern end of this and a little West to get creamed. We look to be around 7 or 8 inches so far. Expecting around a foot.

Should be crazy near the Phila airport. I read Wilmington, Del had 18" earlier this evening.

Y'all need to get a snow blower, 10-12" of wet heavy snow is a fairly normal winter storm here.

Excellent, the Gods themselves are conspiring against Obamacare!

It would seem they also conspiring against Owl Gore's stream of lies he uttered during hs propaganda speech too.

Heh............... Anyways, regardless who the Gods are conspiring against, it's still entertaining to watch you L 48ers in the warmer regions react to winter storms.

Must be buzzed pretty good. You're having olfactory hallucinations.

You obviously need something to help you clear the snow. I suggest this .
Or these (yep, all three of them) .

I *LIKE* it!!!

The wife would likely be a little upset, though, if I burned down the neighborhood...

The Federal Government has announced that their offices will be closed Monday, December 21st, due to current road and weather conditions.

That was a good call on the part of OPM: all the back roads and subdivision streets in Prince William and Stafford counties are essentially one-track affairs. I hope they get substantial clearing done today. My shoulders are stiff today from wrestling with a 10-HP JD snowblower for three hours yesterday. I measured 21 inches where the blower cut through on the driveway. And it's a wet snow that doesn't blow well and hardens when compacted even a little.
The neighbors at the river place say they've got only about five inches on the ground. We'll be heading there on Christmas eve and leave this NoVA mess to y'all.

Merry Christmas!

I just got back from my gym in Gainesville (a bit west of Manassas, which is on the western edge of NoVa). I was surprised at the amount of snow still on what would normally be fairly busy roads.

Living in NW DC in the late 80s was wintertime fun

I remember a couple of winters where they never got equipment on the streets
and the double track lanes became solid ice runs.
