SE TE'ers: the ice storm cometh

[Bike Chick]

Thanks Sundial! We've been hearing that it's heading this way but they don't know how much we will get yet. Let's hope it's the snow and not the ice..... Looks like I'll be on the trainer this weekend

I KNOW!

I don't mind the snow (like the 14" we had for Christmas), but the ice just bites. We lose power when any ice accumulates. 2 years ago we lost power for week. Oh well. If all else fails, I'll go sleep in my classroom (the school never loses power).

I really don't think we'll get as much as they're sensationalizing, but I'm sure we'll get some. I just hope it's not a lot. Went to the store to get some food, but the parking lot was FULL so I just went home. I'll just make do with the canned goods I have in the fridge.

Stay safe everyone!!

On the news last night, the meteorologist said it might be a significant storm for the southeast (it was in California then and expected to get more moisture over the Gulf of Mexico). Didn't think the DC area was going to get hit hard by it, as the worst of it is supposed to stay south (Eastern Shore of MD might get hit, though). We might get a couple inches here in the DC metro area Friday night into Saturday but no ice.

Sun---Are Nicki and Kali snow lovers? You'll have to get some pictures of them romping in it and post them.

It's supposed to snow in Richmond on Friday and Saturday, but I don't know how much.

I'd love snow in the DC area.

There were flurries yesterday afternoon.

I'm bummed. When the weather geeks were first watching this storm, they were predicting a more northern route, so I was looking forward to eight or twelve inches of snow in Maryland this weekend! Now we'll be lucky to get a dusting.

They're already hedging for my area. I don't think it's going to be so bad. (Unless you're in Oklahoma.)
