[quote=mlmpetert;660423]Holy shit, i just heard 4-5 feet for DC area.[/quote]

honestly we are gonna get f-ed again right now they are saying 18 to 24 inches and that is the national weather service not just topper shut blowing smoke up our ass, we are probably gonna get two feet here and then there is another storm behind this one that will hit us tues and weds, if we lose power i'm gonna be pissed

Ummm, huh? And why would they delay an announcement? That seems pretty counter-intuitive

Re: Let It Snow
 

I just went and looked at the map and it shows our area is right at the line to get a mix. If this storm moves down some we could get that unectected snow you guys got last week. Maybe we should get that global warming thread going again.

you must mean global cooling

Re: Let It Snow
 

Seems that way. As I headed home tonight a fleet of dump trucks (7 or 8) full of salt looked to be headed your way.

That didnt make any sense to me either. Im thinking that fri&sat plus tues&wends is what is supposed to amount to 4-5 feet. Well see......

Duh! They did that in New Orleans for Katrina look how well that worked.=)

I'm only 5'2.. I guess I shouldn't try to go out in this snow.. I might never be seen again.

The grocery stores are a total shit show. Huge lines, no carts, people arguing, everything picked over. Thank god my fiancee handled that for us today. Patience is a virtue I was born without. Just hearing her story about it nearly made my head pop.

But now we've got a fridge full of food, some Sierra Nevada, a few nice bottles of red wine, and some scotch. Time to settle in and ride it out. Actually it will probably be a very chill, relaxing weekend. Work tomorrow could be interesting though.

lol stop shopping at the Giant in Anacostia! :laughing2

The whole metro area is in pandemonium. I think it's rather amusing.

Me too. This town is so lame when it comes to inclement weather.

I can only imagine what the Anacostia Giant was like. She went to the one in Bethesda and it was mayhem!

[quote=GMScud;660413]Wow. This will be only the 3rd time on record we've had 2 double digit snows in the same season. Hard to believe.

Wonder if they'll have another big snowball fight.. or if any cops will pull guns...

Re: Let It Snow
 

[quote=GMScud;660415]I don't think the forecast is off my friend. We may not get two feet, but I haven't seen a single forecast predicting less than double digits for the DC area. It's coming...

Yeah I don't think there's any way in hell I'm leaving my place for the Superbowl. Fortunately my fiancee loves football, so we'll likely just chill on the couch and watch the game. Unfortunately I bet they'll postpone the Caps-Pens game scheduled for noon on Sunday. I was really looking forward to that one.

Crap, I just realized I have no booze in the house. I'll be back later guys....[/quote]
Oh man.. good call

roomie sent his woman out for stuff on her way home from work.. a TON of food, but she forgot the beer

I guess I'd better hit the store in the morning

Re: Let It Snow
 

[quote=mlmpetert;660424]This was from a Vdot source. I hope its not true, but have no idea. Apperently they are delaying the announcement? Dont hold me to it. But stock up. I had to hitchhike 21st century style last weekend (craigslist) to get out of my house and get beer. Stock up[/quote]

Load up on good food and alcohol, rent a few movies, and you're ready to weather a big storm. :)

In Mississippi we just got four inches of rain (for real) in 24 hours. Now that storm is coming to DC folks in the form of snow. Get prepared and good luck!

Well I looked it up and every inch of ran equals 10 inches of snow so if they get hit with the same amount it would be about 40" of snow.

Re: Let It Snow
 

I went to the Giant here in Frederick last night, and was able to get just about everything on the list we needed. Granted, the meats and breads were seriously lacking, but everything else (milk included) was in decent supply. Before that I hit the beer store for some Full Moon, Yuengling Bock, and some Bud Light, so I'm ready for some serious snow.

Re: Let It Snow
 

I just hit the Liquor store at 10AM to stock up. I have plenty of food already.

Re: Let It Snow
 

I'm stocked with food, beer, wine, liquor and toilet paper. Bring it! I'm ready to go.

Re: Let It Snow
 

Man! The new snow is covering the old snow that hasn't melted. The old snow had melted into a sheet of ice. This new snow is wet, nasty snow. This is a fucking mess. We're getting more snow tomorrow and more snow on Tuesday and Wednesday. Someone needs to chain up all Al Gore and bring out the gimp. I'm tired of his global warming. If this is global warming, I'd hate to see global cooling!

Got some this today at lunch, looks tasty!

Re: Let It Snow
 

Lot of buzz about this being more then 30 inches.

[quote=mredskins;660715]Lot of buzz about this being more then 30 inches.[/quote]
Well if you saw my response to Lotus who said they got 4 inches of rain from the system if you get hit with that each inch of rain = 10 inches of snow. Thats would be around 40" of snow.

Sorry just enjoying the fact I'm not getting hammered with snow for a change.

I was at the NOAA - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-building today and the buzz there is up to 4 feet in DC.

So DRave, there's going to be a big snowball fight in Dupont Circle tomorrow at 2PM. And one on The Ellipse around the same time, I think.

Re: Let It Snow
 

The Algorestorm started here about 30 minutes ago. 8-16" expected. They're predicting 11.1" (somehow) in my town.

Re: Let It Snow
 

We have problems with power outages whenever there's inclement weather, whether it be heavy rain, thunder storms or heavy snow fall, the end result is still the same. We're hoping that won't be the case for the week-end, especially Sunday.
