I cry UNCLE! Enough already. It is going to be a long weekend of shoveling.

BDBohnzie · 02-04-2010, 11:55 AM

Very long weekend, and it's going to start between Noon and 8p tomorrow and might last into Sunday morning, depending on which of the forecast models hold true.

Making chili and buffalo chicken dip for the Super Bowl...I better get my supplies today

My wife is going to the grocery store tonight, should be a mad house!

Here's a tip for all of you lazy people. If you don't feel like clearing the snow off your car, cover it with a big blue tarp. You can get a cheap one from a hardwars store. Once it stops snowing, just pull the tarp and all of the snow just falls off.

Yeah, my fiancee is gonna hit the grocery store in about an hour. I'm hoping that it won't be too bad since it's mid-day and a lot of people are still at work. Two blizzards in one winter. Crazy.

lol man you guys are getting pounded, and once again a big storm is missing upstate NY. Very strange winter.

SolidSnake84 · 02-04-2010, 04:48 PM

If we get through this weekend, there is another giant sized storm set to hit on Tuesday or wednesday, no lie.....

Yeah I'm hearing around two feet. This can't be real, right? I have/had plans to go watch the Super Bowl on U street with some buddies. I bet the forecast is off.

Wow. This will be only the 3rd time on record we've had 2 double digit snows in the same season. Hard to believe.

Here's a great link for anyone looking for tips on how to deal with the DC area "snowpocalypse:"

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....
