Who says God doesn’t have a sense of humor?
ROTFLMAO!
if they get dumped on with a couple of feet will it shut down the Health Care debate?
I don’t know, I’m consumed with my own area.
check out NOAA if you can’t let me know and I will look for you.
It’s coming straight for me.
The most snow we have had in Maryland in ten years.
The dipstick in the White House is still screaming Global Warming. Give me a friggin break.
Send this clown back to Indonesia where he cane from, and send nancy and harry there with him.
To make thing even worse this horses rump will be in Hawaii for the Holidays while I am sitting in snow up to my groin.
Waiting to learn. they will spend most of the weekend on the defense appropriation bill. reid has to file all his paperwork by monday to have a shot at passage by Christmas Eve.
I cannot believe what this scumbag is doing.
wow...this is pretty rare for as far south as DC IIRC.
Major storm for them.
Yes, starting in late afternoon or early evening. AccuWeather.com (see link below) says right now the snow will start in NE Connecticut at about 8pm, but the (excellent) weather guy on WTIC 1080 AM said a few minutes ago that this storm could slow down or speed up, so it's tough to predict the exact time when the snow will start. CT is expected to get about 6 inches from this storm.
AccuWeather.com forecast for NE CT
If you get a "page load error" at the link above, keep trying. I think AccuWeather.com is overwhelmed today. It's a very good site that will give you the hour by hour weather forecast for just about any area. We use it all the time and it's mostly dead on accurate.
That’s a pretty broad range....I have a home in Brasstown and my son plays football at WCU.....
He’s home, his finals ended Wednesday...but many of his friends still there are reporting “stranded” on their facebook page(s)....
I love it. Maybe the ice at the north pole is still melting?????

It’s currently -20C (-17F) in Resolute, Canada, which is on the Northwest Passage, west of Greenland. It’s forecast to go to -27C tonight and hit lows of -27 or -28 the rest of this week, while going up to a balmy -19 most of next week. As I recall, the freezing point of water was 0C and arctic sea water is about -2C. Algore must have changed the laws of physics.
No kidding. As a resident, I fully expect every radio station advises their listeners to ABANDON THEIR CARS! Seems like the shoulders and ditches are a parking lot.
By 7pm, there won’t be a loaf of bread, a jug of milk, or a roll of toilet paper to be had.
Also, all DVDs will have been rented from Blockbuster, Hollywood, RedBox. DC area people act like they will be snowed in for months.
National Weather Service now calling for 10-20 inches of snow in DC beginning overnight tonight through Sunday morning.
From NRO: Reid has given McConnell indications that he will unveil his substitute/text amendment on Saturday. Hope the weather delays the whole damned thing in some capacity.
Everyone, please keep calling 202-224-3121
NOW CALLING FOR UP TO 20 INCHES!
UPDATE:
* ACCUMULATIONS... HEAVY SNOW WITH ACCUMULATIONS OF 10 TO 20 INCHES THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT.
* TIMING... SNOW WILL BEGIN BETWEEN 11 PM AND 2 AM TONIGHT AND WILL CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. SNOW WILL BE HEAVIEST BETWEEN 8 AM AND 6 PM SATURDAY.
* TEMPERATURES... UPPER 20S TO LOWER 30S THROUGH THE EVENT... LOW TO MID 30S IN COASTAL SOUTHERN MARYLAND.
* WINDS... 10 TO 20 MPH THROUGH THE EVENT... WITH GUSTS OF 25 TO 30 MPH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
Hope that Queen PeaLousy and Hussein have to fly back to DC in a raging blizzard..... ice, snow, cold...ehehehehe. Thank You Almighty Creator...show em who’s da Boss!
With all of the hot air emanating from DC, I doubt the snow will stick for too long.

AccuWeather is also projecting ANOTHER storm in the DC area for next Thursday...I can’t see the Senate hanging around thru two storms in the space of a week; especially when they want to go home for the holidays.
LOVE IT!!
