Mid Atlantic boys are you shoveling yet?

Looks look quite a few states are going to get 2+ feet. For once it's not heading to Northern New England. No wonder the groundhog saw his shadow and went back to his hole.

Maybe the skunk at Pat's place knows something.

Snowfall started at 8:50. Car is already covered. The forecast has been increased from 12-18" to 18-24".

The tractor is fueled up and ready to go....

Just watched the news, and DC is supposed to get 60cm! For a place that becomes paralyzed with 2cm, this will be the Apocalypse...

Yes, I'm an hour west of DC. It's quite humorous to watch really. It's not so much that we can't clear the snow. The problem is that we have so many "transplants" here, people who transfer in for the Gov't from all over. Some have never seen snow, yet they hop in their SUV's and think they can go anywhere.

That reminds me back in 1990 my dad was working at the Canadian Embassy in DC. He couldn't beleive that they basicly closed up the town cause of a half inch of snow.....

kinda funny to read about folks panicing and buying up all the bread water, milk etc,..
a foot of snow is just an overnite thing ,. no biggie really,.
down in DC there, within 2 days max,. they'll have the place cleared out enough to function,..(obamy will just have to cut back on 2-3 smart bombs to pay for the cleanup) there's a pile of small business's everywhere that have loaders,. dump trucks, machines etc,. its what they do around here if things get crazy with a 3 ft snow drop,. the call goes out,.its good for business. adds to the revenue etc,.things are actually more difficult this year for us because of the lack of snow,..
