Forecast is calling for 8-12" of snow in our area this evening and

I suspect federal employees all over the metro area will be out this
evening, dancing half naked around the fires in the 55-gallon oil drums,
chanting to the Snow Goddess for OPM to shut down offices Tuesday. 
8-12" ? A dusting, huh?
Hey, now. Let's be real...2" of snow is enough to shut down this area. I
predict - panic and empty shelves at the supermarkets.
The real problem is the high potential of downed power lines and loss of
electricity to hundreds of thousands of folks.
