Icepocalypse 2010

Ha.

It's been really nice knowing all of you. Apparently, we're all going to die today, so wish me luck. #sotiredoftheweathermeninthistown

 

Good luck, AD!!!

 

Thankfully, the fam will all be home shortly, as school was canceled and workplaces are letting people go. So, we should all be here to keep each other company when the electricity goes out and we have to, y'know, talk or something.

 

Egads! The torture!

 

It's 60 and sunny. But it's also very windy. You know something big's coming. And we're expected to get as much as 10 inches of snow here by Saturday night -- by way of contrast, our average yearly snowfall is 7.8 inches, and I'm pretty sure we haven't had that in the last five years combined.

 

Hmmm ... this guaranteed big income for the grocers in North Carolina. Mere mention of the "s" word by weather types - and not THAT "s" word - clears the bread, milk and batteries off the shelves. City planners have no clue how to plow roads, but the overreaction by many is freaking ridiculous.

 

So far, I'm underwhelmed.
Still above freezing, no rain in sight and now the weather dudes after warning all week about how bad it will be on Friday and Saturday, are suddenly, "umm, it looks the ice and snow will miss us, but further north, oh lordy is it going to suck."

100,000+ without power in greater Oklahoma City.

 

Monday of this week, the temperature was in the UPPER 60s. I felt like a total idiot for taking my winter coat with me, but I had it because I knew I'd need it that night with temperatures getting much colder that night.

This Saturday, we're supposed to get grazed by Snowpocalypse 2.0 with temps not even hitting 30.

Welcome to winter.

 

We could get between two inches and a foot. There's quality forecasting for ya.

Just as long as it isn't ice, I can deal.

 

Not a flake in my neck of the woods. Way disappointing.

 

4-8 inches expected in my neck of the woods by tomorrow morning, more throughout the day tomorrow, starting around dusk tonight. Which is awesome because all of our prep events will be canceled, and I won't have to sit in and take calls. My hoops team is off Saturday, an absolute rarity. Four day weekend!
