I remember a bad ice storm in Richmond VA -- and a bit of a surprise, too -- but because it happened between Christmas and New Year's, the impact was much less disastrous. (It would have been during school travel.)
Retailers are probably out there waving that thing eastward as hard as they can...

I would rather drive myself than be stuck on a bus. I was able to move my haircut from 3 pm up to 9:45 am. Hopefully it will be less bad in the morning.
My big issue is that 6-12 is a useless forecast. Six inches means you can still get around, 12 inches means the region is paralyzed. So we really won't know what we're in for until we wake up tomorrow.
Meanwhile on Monday night I have to go downtown, which means street parking, which means it will be a mess with all the snow piled up from the plows. I don't want to think about it.
Update: two of the three managers I'm working for are not in the office today, and the third told me that it's okay if I get the haircut this afternoon and then work from home over the weekend. So now I can stay home tomorrow. Yay.

Now it's 12-24 inches predicted, according to the noon news.
I'm glad it worked out for your haircut!!
Woohoo! I stopped at the store this am to buy all the supplies to make lots of Christmas cookies, so I'll be happy to be stuck at home this weekend. And maybe pull out the cross country skis that haven't seen any action in 22 years! And shovel. I'm from the midwest, and I love to shovel.
This will be Sammy's first big snow, so that will be fun, too. I'm really looking forward to this weekend.
Take it back, DB, take it back!
They also are predicting wind and thunder snow. Let's hope no one loses power.
Schools are closing an hour early here (Raleigh, NC area), and nothing has even fallen from the sky! It does look threatening, though.

Our forecast is now up to 8-12 inches...
Yipee!!!
12"+ for me! yay! I love snow. Time to break out the rollers.
12"-20" forecasted here. I've been up for 2 hours and already have cabin fever!
