One for the record books, please? (none / 0)

They bumped our snow forecast for Friday and Saturday up again. Now at 16 to 24 inches. I'm hoping for the higher end of that, which may well happen, as they're projecting 24 inches just a bit north in Arlington. Looks like we may have another similar storm in the coming week, too.

Going to brave the grocery store tonight for a few days of food, booze and, of course, Super Bowl supplies.

Assuming they haven't bought out all the beer, chips and cigarettes at the grocery store.

Funny thing is the ones panicking seem to be all Northerners and Pacific-Northwesterners.

Maybe they know a thing or two about being snowed in.

BTW Helsinki is up to 63 cms so far. Not quite a record, but close. We really should check the roof.

We're looking at anywhere from 18 to 26 inches now. Still seem to be raising the estimates with each new read from the models.

Two feet of snow would be awesome. Rather not do it again for a while, but one big dawg kinda snowstorm would be nice.

Gonna sit at home and record some music, drink a lot, blog, and watch me some football. Life is good.

In my direct experience if the snow is not in the living room then the roof is still there.

Me duck.

Yes (4.00 / 2)

We seem to be OK for the moment ;-)

Maybe I should take it back. Grocery store really wasn't too packed or crazy. We were in and out in five minutes, which is better than we usually do.

We have snow coming tomorrow. But right now it looks like there won't be too much below 700m (I live at 200m and work at around 400m).
