Blizzard?
 

Looking like Wash DC is the bull's eye for 2 or more feet of snow this
weekend. This will be interesting to watch as it pans out.

We will hopefully miss the heavy stuff up here, being on the northern
edge. After last winter even 8 to 12 inches is duck soup.

Hopefully it won't start until after golf tomorrow. My wife is in Florida with
reservations to return here Saturday afternoon. She may get a couple extra days in
Palm Beach.

The answer is simple. Our government will shut down for a week.
I suppose they will find a way to blame it on the GOP ;-)

My recollection is a federal government shutdown of only two days for a
"blizzard," and, of course, making the highways and byways safe for
travel and clearing the Metro and rail commuter tracks takes time.

warming. ur something like that. :=)

The average yearly snowfall in Wash DC is about 14 inches total.
This storm may bring two feet or more all at once. It might take a
while to get cleared out.

We're hearing that storm will pass just south of us on the weekend. The poor wild horses on Sable island sill probably take the brunt.

Richard, I didn't see this before I made the other post. My tv natl broadcast said about a foot for the DC area. Hope you don't get overloaded like last year.

I think I'd make some other plans for Sunday John.
