Just copied this off Channel 9 ...God help us!!!

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- The 9NEWS NOW Weather team is expecting perhaps our biggest snow in almost 7 years and maybe one of the top 5 snowstorms in DC history. We have the perfect combination of cold air and abundant moisture converging on the mid-Atlantic.

LATEST FORECAST

The intensity of the storm could being snowfall rates of 2 inches per hour or possibly higher along with thunder snow. The snow will be heaviest between 7 AM and 7 PM and travel will be difficult at best. We have raised the earlier prediction of 10"-15"+ now to 12"-24"+ across the DC metro. Some mixing in souther Maryland will keep their totals a little lower.

That's bad Eileen

Have you enough food supplies in so that there's no need for you to venture out in it?

Stay safe, stay indoors and stay warm ......I hope it won't be as bad as predicted

Indeed I'm all set, Mags: I was among the throngs at the market this morning stocking up, and also have enough gin, beer, wine (essentials, you know

) and Leia's part of the pantry is well stocked too! Also filled the bird feeder up to the top. It sounds perfectly horrid; I remember several of these monster storms .... didn't mind therm too much when I was working as it meant a snow day! Now it just means stuck indoors! I'll be boring you with weather reports.....

Thanks, but that was a little piddling storm compared to this one that's coming! Camera at the ready, though.

Stay safe please

dandysmom · 19-12-2009, 03:18 AM

Thanks Kado! I don't plan sticking my nose outdoors at all except to rescue the paper if it's delivered and I can see it in all the snow! I just hope the storm is overhyped.
