    Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

    I live in northern Virginia and it's snowing! Can't believe it. It may turn into something.

    Thumbs down Snow

    Byron,
    Hope you keep it all up there. We don't need any down here.

    Von, that's fine with me. I'm retired so I don't have to fight the traffic and my wife and I always enjoy a good snow.

    Well in NE Illinois, they have threatened us with"1-2 inches", "1-3 inches" or "3-6 inches" depending on what weather report I am listening to.

    Either way, some white stuff is expected soon.

    Hey, Mike, do you have an export license? We could use 3-6"

    Byron,
    After spending all those years down there in VA I learned that 1 flake and I stay home. I wanted to get out of the way of all those trucks replenishing all the milk, bread and toilet paper.

    Glenn, right on!!!! I commuted between the District and home for 25+ years. ANY snow or freezing rain caused a "day off". I never had an accident BUT boy did I see a bunch!

    It's the same here in SE PA - bread and milk fly off the shelves and the schools close if one flake falls. I grew up in the Chicago area where during the blizzard of '79 my high school closed for the first time in over 60 years - naturally the principal told me as I walked in the door! Though in all fairness, they do a good job clearing the roads in Chicago (compared to Lancaster) - here we are not as lucky so staying home is usually a wise decision.

    and tomorrow night and Saturday morning. Grrrr...... I bought a snowblower to guarantee that it would not snow this season (reverse Irish logic). So much for my guarantee and "reverse Irish logic"

    According to our guess-the-weather dude...up to 12 inches and 55 mph winds are on the way for the weekend! More a little north of us...I think the snowthrower needs a tuneup!
    Just for you warm weather people...here's what a beginning winter forcast looks like..

    Glenn, sure wish I was back up in Maine to see that same kind of forecast. Here in Chesapeake all we are getting is a lot of rain. I miss the snow - 2 years in Washington State and now a year here...it's been too long.

    Be well,

    Doc

    Have seen enough snow and cold when I lived in North Central Oklahoma and south Kansas!!!!!

    It gets a bit chilly here in North Central Florida (Ocala)--have seen snow here in 1987 + or - a few years ago---and sure enjoying this nice 60-80 temp and sunshine during the day time.

    Ken,

    I was just thinking how we don't get any snow compared to "up north". But I guess compared to where you are we have a bitterly cold, snowy winter!

    BTW, are you still coming this way for the holidays to enjoy some of our winter?

    Bob
