SE TE'ers: the ice storm cometh

[Selkie]

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.)

They're predicting anything between a half an inch of ice and 8 inches of snow for us. Makes it hard to plan. And my poor grandma is supposed to be transferred from the hospital to a rehabilitation facility in the middle of this (she had a knee replacement). I love snow usually, but right now - ugh!

It's already starting here...sleet and snow mixed but the ground is still too warm for it to do anything significant. The temp is hovering at 32.......and this wasn't supposed to start until tomorrow!!

Where are you at bike chick?
Some districts have already canceled school for tomorrow and Friday and it's bone dry here right now. Ice shouldn't start until mid-morning tomorrow.
Personally, I think they're jumping the gun a little.
I still don't think it's going to be nearly as bad as they're predicting. I hope I'm right.
