Snow is already accumulating here in Fairfax County. Didn’t expect it to start for a few more hours.

Just looked out the window. It's beginning to come down here in the Chicago suburbs. Maybe an inch so far.....don't know what it will look like tomorrow morning.

Glad I finished my Christmas shopping today!

OH ok - WRAL said you guys north of the Triabngle were getting major snow....

But what does WRAL know?

They also said my drive home from work would be free of any falling stuff - but they were wrong - it snowed hard (and sleeted) all the way home....LOL.

(Not sticking on the roads though).

Especially large amounts of snow could accumulate southeast of the Interstate 95 corridor

Southeast???

Man I’m sad right now. I wanted to get away to my cabin in New Market (going to get a ton of snow at my mountain home), but I’m stuck in Williamsburg because my wife would call off from her hobby job!

Yeah I’m a bit sore over it. We bought the cabin for this very reason but her stinking hobby job kept us from going.

Buy my neighbors are on their way to their cabin (down the mountain from ours) and they say it’s slow going as traffic is going very slow. So I won’t go now because it’s too dangerous to leave this late at night.

So I’m just sitting here reading free republic when I could be at my cabin in the mountains with a ton of snow building up and a warm fire keeping me toasty as we play games with the kids.

OH really? But is it on the way there?

You must be in Northern W Va?

I actually don’t know what part of WVa my friend will be driving through - it’s to pick up her daughter who lives there....but I was thinking Sunday might be a better day to drive there....

75 degrees here. I have air conditioning on. It will get cool tomorrow and I can open the windows. :) Snow? Never happens here.

Joe Lieberman went home to CT for the Jewish holidays. I saw this morning that they are going to post blizzard warnings for Long Island. Maybe Joe will be snowed in for a few days.

I’m sure Joe is getting even for Al Franken’s crap of denying him additional time. However, I heard that it was on Harry Reid’s orders as the Dim freshman senator from Alaska did the same to Texas Senator Cornyn.

Washington DC is far different from Wisconsin.

Thank God for small favors

Diane in Wisconsin.... I grew up in Menomonie, now live in Minnesota, but go back nearly every weekend to my elderly father's farm & 120 acres just south of Menomonie.

WRAL seldom gets it right. lol
It has been sticking on the roads here, beautiful to look at from the window, but treacherous if one has to go out. We’ve got everything we need so we’re staying put inside.

Too funny about the BMT stores, but it’s accurate! Personally, I was more inclined to stock up at the liquor store than Giant.

LOL - well hello from Raleigh to you!

Yes, you got it. Raid the stores! Empty the bread and milk stocks!

I actually got to the store last night and expected massive crowds. Maybe it’s the economy or maybe everybody was yawning since WRAL weather people have cried wolf (snow is coming, snow is coming) one too many times and nobody believed them this time....but the store was virtually empty.

Looks like the worst is going to be hitting DC and even New York City.

NWS says blizzard warning here on LI.
