Happy New Year!

If we can't enjoy a white Christmas, at least we have a warm New Year! What? The two don't really relate. The forecast for NYE looks perfect - warm, dry and not windy (for a change). The weather will cooperate for all those DC kids heading to a big ol' party!

I am more excited about the weather for New Year's day! It could get into the 60s which means DC folks breaking out flip flops for the day bombing happening all over town. Nothing cures a hangover like a couple more drinks with friends....sitting outside. Love it!

Thanks again to all of my loyal readers! I hope my blog has kept you up-to-date on all the fantastic weather happenings!

Total Bull$*@#!

If this picture doesn't explain why I'm mad, I don't know how else to explain it. The whole Midwest and east coast got hit by snow....but not DC! WTF?! That little green pocket on the east is DC...

I battled the 40mph winds this morning to get to work only to find out that everyone who went home for xmas has not made it back yet b/c of the snow. I'm so mad!

The weather is going to warm up this week and hopefully by tomorrow the winds will die down. I'll check back in with some NYE updates.

Buenos Snowches

[Below is an entry from my Xmas host - a guest blogger]

Here's the deal. I know weather. If it wasn't clear by the title, I do.

Every day, I dial my verizon special weather announcers and they tell me what's in store for my day. This is a luxury people. I can hit a button and in 5 seconds have a familiar voice tell me what the barometric pressure is...not that I know wtf that means...but they help me plan my day.

So yes, it's true, they are my muse. But don't miss the point...I snow weather. I do. I effing snow it.

Here's what you tuned in for today. It is gonna snow. OMG it is gonna effing SNOW!!! Snomygod it is gonna snow. Like the kind of snow you have in the morning where you say 'holy snowflake jim bob' over coffee and buenos snowches at night.

If you work for the government, then snowverdoit and hit the hills with some wax paper and some cookie sheets. Just please, for the love of god, don't dress like you just got back from the slopes and are doing some snowboarding down 16th street...you know who you are...let it go.

If you are still expected to work during the snowpocalypse, well at least you got a little shout out on the first snowel.

Adeste Fideles

I can't miss an opportunity to display my Latin knowledge! No, really, I just thought it was funny and random.

Christmas is right around the corner and there is some talk of snow. I'm skeptical. We still have some snow on the ground from last week which is a nice festive touch for the holiday. I wouldn't mind some snow on Christmas. I'll be cozied up at Julie's house in Mt. Pleasant with friends, vino and good cheer.

Christmas looks like it will be cold...and the same goes for Ingrid's birthday. I hope the cold doesn't he keep her from enjoying her b-day with friends and family! XO

Cold As Ice

The cold temps are bad enough, but this wind is killing me! It's supposed to ease up later tomorrow, but for now, bundle up!

I really shouldn't complain though b/c I took a look at the weather in Kosovo. It's nice on Thursday when I arrive but by election day on Sunday (when I'll be on in and out of polling stations all day) it's going to be freezing! Like Ukraine-cold! Crap. Looks like I'll be packing my moon boots!

Baby, It's Cold Outside

It's going to be a chilly weekend. The talk of snow is merely at a whisper today, and even then the whisper is just about snow to the south of DC. Mostly, we will only see clouds and some cold temperatures. The good news - bourbon and pork is perfect for this kind of weather!

I'm So Excited

I just read about this on Capital Weather Gang. So cool! My weather tracking just got a bit more interesting!

(two posts in one day, that is exciting too!)

Against the Wind

In an effort to make Loftus happy, I'm going to try and continue naming my posts with song titles. Feel free to send me ideas!

I took a bit of a hiatus updating my blog so I went back to to read some of the old posts to get me pumped up. I noticed a number of things:

1) I need to proof read better

2) it rains a lot in DC

3) it gets hot in DC

4) I don't get many comments

Today the weather is....wait for it....rainy. It's also very windy (apparently there is talk of tornadoes??)! It's not cold, I think in the 60s right now, but that is all supposed to change tonight as temps drop into the 30s. I'm ok with the cold though, it's the rain that annoys me.

Tonight would be a good night for some red wine with friends!
