It won't hurt my feelings if it's just a couple inches. Jeeper how about emailing me some of that 60 degree weather. Or better yet someone please post a picture of a clear, warm, sunny day anywhere! I want to see green. White is getting a bit old!!

I think the other problem is the 30 mph winds. It will be interesting.

Most definitely, I just hope to get home before the worst of it starts [meaning the invincible people with 4 WD that start driving with their heads up their rear ends] they can go as fast as they like but they're not going to be able to stop any quicker. The majority of times I been in back-ups has been because of one of these geniuses running off the road out of control. Once I'm home I'll deal with the snow as needed. Just hope the power doesn't go off. We can go out in the motorhome but I don't think I could keep the satelite dish-dome clear.

ATTENTION!!! SPRINGTIME - We're ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am lucky, today is my Friday so I will not have to deal with people that think they are invincible. Please be carfull on your way home tomorrow and that go's for every one that has to travel in Fridays rush hour.
I am in Chantilly VA at work and we are preparing for this storm, I think we have everything in place to deal with this mess.

Our latest forecast is for 16 to 24" starting early tomorrow morning. 12 hours before the 2 footer we got in December, they were calling for 8 to 12". This may get interesting.

Right with you Bill, we're ready with everything. DW went to the store yesterday morning. 3 hours just picking up necessities. I've heard so many different predictions and they seem to change by the hour.

Kim, thanks for the great pictures. It nice to see something other than snow. Be careful everyone that's dealing with this storm.
