Scattered Snow?

DC missed the big storm that hit the rest of the northeast (enter argument about whether or not DC is in the northeast)....but it did not miss Skaneateles. Some readers may recognize this location as my parents' backyard. Yikes! I don't like the idea of my dad shoveling all of that!

Btw, I'm not comfortable with the description the forecasters are using - what does scattered snow mean? Doesn't snow usually scatter? We shouldn't see any accumulation but the wind is going to make it one heck of day! The weekend should be better. It will still be breezy but it's not the kind of wind that chokes you.

More Snow?

The forecast indicates more snow is headed this way. The real concern is the wind - guests could reach 50mph on Thursday. Add snow flurries to that kind of wind and you have blizzard-like conditions. It's hard to say how much snow will really fall, but I wouldn't mind enough to cover up the nasty left-over snow from the last storm.

Restless in the City

I think I have cabin fever - I've cleaned my room, made soup (from a recipe, not a can), took a nap, and have eaten roughly 100 hershey kisses.

The fed gov has closed down yet again. Day four of snow work!

I am looking forward to some non-snow weather so I can get out of my neighborhood. I like this area, but I'd love to see something beyond the nearby 3 blocks.

Snoverkill

Capital Weather Gang is referring to the impending storm as snoverkill...and I love it! If you are not reading that blog - do it! I don't think I'm committed enough to update this blog everyday.

Don't Blame the Snow Lovers

More snow is headed this way and now the pros are predicting 10 to 20 inches! If you watch the news, the excitement is gone and and newscasters seem annoyed by all the snow talk. I can't help but feel targeted. Just because I love the snow doesn't mean I'm doing anything wrong - it's not my fault it keeps snowing!

Snowly Crap!

The last 24 hours or so have been fun-filled by playing with the word "snow." SnOMG, snow doubt, snow way, etc. The favorite snow-ism I've heard though, that I sadly did not come up with myself, was "buenos snowches." hilarious!

Don't bother hitting the grocery store b/c from what I've heard, they are all cleaned out. However, if you like whole milk, you could take a shot at your local grocery store.

Enjoy the snow!

Bring Your Moon Boots to Work*

If you haven't heard about the storm heading toward DC....then you must not live here. It's all anyone is talking about (which I find hilarious). The comments on the Capital Weather Gang blog have been amazing!

So, the snow is supposed to hit in the afternoon on Friday and last through Saturday. DC could see 12-18 inches. No joke. Be prepared on Friday when you head to work - by the time you leave, there could be a good amount of snow already! I hope the Fed Gov calls for early dismissal so I can go home early!

If you can't tell from the photo - my boots are already at work!

He Saw His Shadow!

If you have looked at the weather forecast in DC it should be no surprise that the ground hog saw his shadow today. There is a chance of snow tonight - 1-3 inches. It's probably too early to say, but there could be snow on Friday as well.

I don't mind the snow, but I'm starting to get sick of the cold. Now that I have a real commute to work, i.e. waiting for the bus and then sitting on the bus all bundled up for 30 minutes, I look forward to more comfortable weather.
