Only in New Orleans are the "whites out!!"
1-3"? What? That's not a blizzard; that's just a snow flurry.
Feh! Those east-coasters don't know from snow. I don't even start my snowblower until there's at least 6" on the ground.
Let 'em come to Minnesota.
What the hell "blizzard?"
ROFL.. i think you must be much further north than me (i'm in central MI), 1-3' would be more like daily weather here. but still, anything less than a foot, they still expect you to be at work on time.

...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING...
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN STATE COLLEGE HAS ISSUED A WINTER STORM WATCH...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY EVENING THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING.
A WINTER STORM WILL DEVELOP OVER THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY AND MID ATLANTIC STATES ON THURSDAY EVENING...SPREADING POTENTIALLY HEAVY SNOW INTO THE REGION.
ALL OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA COULD RECEIVE GREATER THAN 6 INCHES OF SNOW THURSDAY NIGHT INTO FRIDAY MORNING.
A WINTER STORM WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOW OR ICE ACCUMULATION THAT MAY IMPACT TRAVEL. THE EXACT PATH OF THIS STORM SYSTEM IS UNCERTAIN. HOWEVER...IF HEAVY SNOW OR ICE BECOMES IMMINENT...A WINTER STORM WARNING WILL BE ISSUED.
I remember that blizzard well. The snow was still sitting in the side ditches the following May! We had 10ft drifts and never left home for days.
LOL. Hopefully before we're up to our heinies in it :)
There's going to be 3" to 6" of snow here in Washington, DC.
Quick. I need to run out and get toilet paper. And milk. And bread.
Oh, the humanity!
You're posting from the *parking lot*?!?
I'm impressed!....====8-O
The crowds are such that I can't get into the local Wally World to grocery shop.
We've been having to pay exhorbitant "small town market" prices just to keep from starving to death since before Thanksgiving.
Boy, will I ever be glad to see December 26th.
I like it!
"Quick. I need to run out and get toilet paper. And milk. And bread."
Has anyone ever disclosed *why* we have to stock up on those particular items?
The TP I could understand...*if* I only had one roll left or something.
No kidding. Right now, I've got about 3" of snow on my driveway, but I'm not even going to bother until tomorrow AM. They're predicting a total of about 7" for KC by tomorrow.
Mark
Women, children, and minoritied suffer most. Bush's fault!
Mark
Oh no! I've only got three rolls left! I had better run right out and buy some right now!!!!!!!!
Mark
Yup.
Get at least 3 dozen.
You don't wanna be DOOOOOOOOOOOMED, now do ya?.....:)
