We can't complain tomorrow. Our internets will be down! Our phones will slowly lose power. We are getting it all in today and will be back on Thursday for a recap.

What are you, 12? Snow just means kids home fighting after spending a whole 30 minutes in the snow. DH and I fighting over who has to use up leave to stay home. Bah humbug, give us spring!

Me too. It is ridiculous how crazy people get here.

Yeah, the only thing worse than the snow pussies are the Massholes who like to talk about how tough they are in dealing with snow. Shut up.

There's more than one state in New England babe.

Oh, I'm sorry.... Connecticunts, Vermontholes, Mainiacs, (sorry, can't think of one for the Rhode Islanders)

Yes, but did you read this part on their update?

Could the storm turn out to be a bust and we get little or no snow? The bust potential is highest in the immediate D.C. area, due to temperatures that are only marginally cold enough for snow. There’s about a 20 percent change it becomes too warm and precipitation is not sufficiently heavy for more than a couple of sloppy inches of snow. In the western suburbs, at least moderate amounts of accumulating snow is a pretty safe bet.

SO funny. DCUM can't get through a snow post without trying to bring up the north east.

NO COMPARISON.

Yes, I read the whole thing. I'm banking on the 80% chance that does not happen, but of course realize it is a possibility. What's your point?

If the choices are to be crotchety old meanies or to be excited like 12 year olds about something that we can't change or avoid... Well, I guess we know which one you are. Me, I'm excited! Why not be?
