With any luck this will delay Obama from getting back from his second epic failure in Copenhagen.

No such luck. The King will fly directly to his vacation spot in Hawaii.

Thank you...Good website-I’m in Thompson-when I listened to the weather early this a.m., they said either nothing or a foot!
Thought I heard it wrong..

The latest models show a truly historic storm....amazing. Easily 20 inches in spots if it verifies perfectly.

Thank you..that is a wonderful website-I put it on my desktop.
I had mentioned to another poster that early this morning when I was listening to the weather, they had said either nothing or a foot...so I was hoping some things had been updated.
I usually check a local TV station on the web and it’s not very good and the NOAA site isn’t much help because we’re on ‘the line’-we get northern type weather but also get coastal stuff.

And I get one radio station at work out of Worcester....so thanks for your help. Sounds like one of those ‘watch and see’ type of storms for us in CT.

I think it qualifies for a ‘bread and milk’ run!

You might want to buy an extra FireLog for Monday.

I've got food, booze, firewood and videos. Was there anything else?

Actually, the DC area gets these historic storms fairly regularly. Take a look at NOAA's records here.

24, Buffy, Harry Potter, Jeeves and Wooster, BlackAdder, just all sorts of things. I do need to pick up some chestnuts to roast over the open fire I’ll be lighting, because I have the special chestnut-roasting pan too.

I had to run to Walmart and the grocery store today. Oh My.... it’s the weekend, it’s the Friday before Christmas, and they’re calling for the S word in Maryland. Talk about your “perfect storms”! lol

Maybe you do see more snow, but no one can drive on ice. That is why I chuckle when I see stories from MN, NY and other states that get snow and see tons of cars in ditches and crashes on highways. Northerners can’t drive in the snow or ice, either. They pretend they can, but evidence suggests otherwise.

I stayed at the Boardwalk in 1996, just in time for the blizzard of the century.

Didn’t bother me, I love winter cold.

Also learned the other name for Rehobeth while I was there.

It's the only website I use for weather. I pay the ten bucks a year for no ads and other special features.

Thompson? You really are up in the corner. :)
