Snowmageddon Strikes

Balto by SilvaAzniv on Flickr

It's snowing! It's really snowing! The perfectly located nor'easter off the Delaware coast is bombing out. As the storm intensifies and moves northward the city will see heavy snow, increasing winds and cooler air. Hence the blizzard warning that's in effect until tomorrow morning.

After a midday lull the Big Apple will see 10-15 inches of snow from this storm. Winds coming out of the north at 10-15 mph this morning will increase to 20-25 mph, with gusts over 40 mph, this afternoon and evening. All in all it is a good day to stay at home and drink hot toddys, but if you do go out send us your snow pictures.

Tomorrow, assuming tomorrow arrives, should be breezy with a mix of sun and clouds. The high will be around the freezing mark. Expect that weather to continue through the weekend.

Apparently this rates a snow week. NY, I'm glad to see you're made of stronger stuff. http://www.newsy.com/videos/blizzard-2010-shuts-down-washington-d-c

I look out my window and people are dropping like flies. When will this end? Shouldn't someone have a fund raiser or something to help out these poor people?

Snowmageddon? Snowpocalypse? Can the media, and the President, blow things a bit too out of proportion? Yes they can!

I'm pretty sure the president at least was being sarcastic. He lived in frickin Chicago for years. The DC crowd probably seems like a bunch of goddamn pussies to him.
