Before you get to uncork your first "Spring Breaaaaak!" scream, the arrival of March appears to be playing one its cruel (or delightful) tricks on us as it comes in like a snow leopard with a storm that looks like it may be the heaviest accumulation we've received all winter. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning in effect for twenty-four hours beginning at 6 p.m. this evening. They are calling for six to ten inches of snow to have fallen by tomorrow, coming down heavy at times throughout the night. (Some reports are calling for as much as 13 inches to hit Manhattan by morning.) Temperatures are expected to be lower than normal for the next few days, so the white blanket might just stick around for a while.

Yay! Snowday! Unfortunately I work for myself and can work from home. :/
Unfortunately you work for yourself? Unfortunately? That sounds pretty awesome to me. :D
God I hope it snows that much.
I hope the kiddies aren't getting too excited. NYC public schools will be open regardless. It'd have to be the end of the world before the BoE closed the schools.
Glad I'm in college now...
but LESS kids will be in school. The ones that really want to work will show up. I'm looking forward to the snowstorm.
If there's more than 6 inches of snow on the ground by 6AM, there's a chance they might close. The storm is coming at a good time...overnight and into the morning rush.
It could be "the Storm of the Century!" With millions stranded and without heat hundreds of thousands will die!
Has anyone seen Staten Island Chuck lately? Where is the NRA when you need them?
How were the supermarkets today? Everyone buying meats, milk, bread like if the stores will be closed for a week.
There's always a run on milk, eggs and bread. like people are gonna live on french toast and lucky charms until the streets are plowed.
I'll believe it when I see it. We've been snubbed by bad meteorology this winter many times already.
This time it's for real. Traffic will be snarled. No bikes allowed on the Williamsburg bridge. Homeless shelters filled to overflowing. Sanitation workers working double overtime.
People advised to stay home and avoid driving. Wall street taking a dive. Mayor Bloomberg calling in additional workers (no one knows what they will be doing but they will get paid overtime), churches and synagogues doing what they normally do. It will be horrific.
Then again it might just pass by and drop an inch or two of partly cloudy.
Lousy Smarch weather.
for the win
Come on, city-closing blizzard!
DC is supposed to get like 9 inches. I think they seriously might tear each other to pieces out of fear down there, like in Batman Begins.
What's being billed as the "largest protest against global warming ever" is scheduled to take place in DC tomorrow. Oops.
National Weather Service is now calling for up to 14 inches in NYC: 1 1/2 to 3 inches per hour (starting around 7:30) with near white out conditions at some times, up to 10 inches by day break, up to 4 more inches falling in the AM.
Temps won't be getting above 30 until mid week, so we can expect this mess to hang around for awhile.
It's 7:30. Where is my snow?
9 pm ... where's my snow!!?
The snow is here! We are all going to die. Pray sinners.
Then again...
Cannot see...can't...hold on...to my....D'Ag bag...
