Yeah I just read they're forecasting "a few flakes" north and west of DC.

Worse, I read 2 long-range forecasts that said this winter will be colder than average in the mid-Atlantic.

I just bought down-filled gloves from LL Bean. Part of my quest for my personal holy grail, a pair of gloves that actually keep my hands warm during low-level activities like walking around outside or driving the car. I would have bought the down mittens but they didn't have my size (I was at their store, not buying online). I will probably try to get the mittens, too, just for fun.
