Lawdy! We gots a snowstorm coming:

SNOWFALL SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING COULD ACCUMULATE TO LESS THAN 1 INCH

PRECIPITATION WILL BREAK OUT ACROSS LOCATIONS ALONG AND WEST OF THE I-95 CORRIDOR BY MIDDAY SATURDAY

AND EXTEND TO THE COAST BY THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON HOURS. PRECIPITATION WILL START OUT AS A RAIN AND SNOW MIXTURE INLAND


I have to go get bread and milk. It's a state law.

Yes, for those who will comment, I know this isn't even in the same universe with other weather.
However, I have not seen a flake in a while except when the GOPeas are on teevee.
This has definitely changed over the years. We never get huge amounts unless it's a fluke. We used to get several storms every year that dropped a few inches. Now, nada.

and sit in a long line of traffic. That's the law, too.

Here, you have to do 80 on the Interstate if your car is 4 WD. Never mind that black ice, you'll get used to doing doughnuts into the guard rails.

I was without power for 5 days last weekend. Now I am sick this weekend. I can't really go anywhere any way, but for god's sake when is this going to stop! I am so sick of winter.

but as usual the weather person didn't get it right. So wrong were they that the stars are shining bright out right now.

I envy those who get a nice snow or three each winter.

63 degrees, T-shirt weather. This has been just about the mildest winter I have ever experienced in the 20 years I have lived in Richmond, VA.

Oh, yeah, gotta run out for the milk, bread and eggs....and some library books.

Just rain at the moment but it's supposed to change over any moment. I have much chores to do today, the first of which is to get dog food. We're only supposed to get an inch, but you know the law: For Instant Fools on the Street™, just add water.
