The wearther is fixin' to get really bad here. As soon as I get at least one cup of coffee in me, I'm going to the grocery store...

Hehehe....that's what I did yesterday. Just the mention of the four-letter word is enough to start a run at the grocery store. They're still not sure what it's going to do here.

Weather-dude said this a.m. that we may be getting 5 inches Thursday night. The non-PC person in me hopes we do.

Our county school board has gotten tons of grief over the fact that they scheduled MLK,Jr. day as a snow/sniper make-up day. They've also handled it really poorly, basically saying "if it's important to you don't come to school" (stoopid).

But in Virginia, Friday is a state holiday for "Lee-Jackson Day" (yes THAT Lee and THAT Jackson). Lee-Jackson Day was a state holiday for years. When MLK, Jr. Day came along at the federal level, Virginia had "Lee-Jackson-King Day." Last year, the Governor decided Friday should be "Lee-Jackson Day" and Monday should be MLK, Jr. Day, giving those on the state schedule a four-day weekend. (Even though I benefit from that, I think it's ridiculous)

So, I'm thinking it would be a great bit of poetic justice if they had to declare schools closed for Lee-Jackson Day...
