Forecast is calling for 8-12" of snow in our area this evening and
overnight. If it happens, it'll be the first substantial snowfall of
this winter.

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.

I talked to my ex the other day and she said PEPCO is finally getting
serious about trimming the trees.

It isn't supposed to start snowing until this evening, but I dashed over
to the local Giant Supermarket to get a few items...at 8:30 am. Amazing
what some shoppers were packing into their carts, as if they expected a
nuclear holocaust instead of maybe two days of inconvenience. Some items
already were thin or gone from the shelves.

Our local electric co-op does not do a great job trimming trees and
limbs near its wires. Seems to me it must cost more in imported manpower
after a big storm to get the lines back up...
