If he landed anywhere on the east coast from Boston to Dulles after he came back from Hopenchangen, that would explain why this blizzard took direct aim at the eastern seaboard.

Trimming the tree. Stiff shot of Jack Daniels sitting on the mantle, for consultations with between light strings. Roaring fire. Only thing better would be Sarah Palin knocking on the door and telling me it's over with Todd, and she wants me to try our for future First Gentleman.

13 inches of global warming on the ground here and another 2-4 inches expected this evening. I heard on the radio earlier that a storm of this caliber hasn't impacted my region as early as this since 1906.

I have a Grand Cherokee Laredo with a 4 inch lift. The wife and I went out this morning for groceries and other necessary items and by other necessary items. Needless to say, she wasn't all that pleased with me when we got back. I however had a lot of fun.

It's called planning ahead for Christs sake. I swear you kids will never learn. If they say snow is coming I head out and get enough booze, beer, food and smokes to last 3 weeks. I don't wait until I'm out and then have an OH SHIT moment.

Right now, it's a nice 60 degrees, with forecasts of temperatures in the low 70s until the next cold front arrives, right before Christmas (but not cold enough for any more white stuff to fall, unless you want to drive up into the higher mountains in New Mexico).

I'm in the suburbs of DC watching the snow pile up. The apartment walk has been shoveled twice today and it's full of snow again. My car has a very impressive snow drift on it. The mailman did not make it today. There is no real wind, just a steady fine snowfall.
Last night at the grocery store, it was a mob scene with people stocking up on groceries like the Martians just landed. All the parking spots were taken and so were all the grocery carts. All the cash registers were open with another one set up in the deli. Twenty people with full carts in every line.
The good news is that I picked up Glenn Beck's "Arguing with Idiots" and read about twenty pages in line. It's pretty good. Well-written, well-reasoned, making its capitalist arguments with facts.
Washington, DC is a weather weenie town. When a couple inches of snow are forecast, the gummint workers scramble for the exists and take leave. Three or four inches of well-timed snow can shut the city down. If we get a foot and a half of snow, the whole city will shut down for a day or two.

Sassy..
Some of the guests are traveling from south of Boston where it's expected to get the brunt of this storm.. and no street parking (where the party will be) during a snow emergency/event. 10 lbs of yummy meatballs have found a new home in SiM's deepfreeze!

These AGW fiends are truly something.
"Only Obama, the argument went, had the power and prestige to break the deadlock at this summit, widely regarded as humanityÂ’s last good chance to preserve a livable climate."
So am I to believe that early evolutionary man these science-types ascribe to withstood hundreds of thousands of years of the elements while living in caves, but modern man can't survive a 2*C increase in temps over a 100 year period? Seriously?
“His administration already has the legal tools to achieve deep and rapid greenhouse emissions reductions from major polluters, consistent with what science demands, through the Clean Air Act. The next step is for E.P.A. to issue pollution-reduction rules for vehicles, smokestacks, and other polluters, and to set a science-based national pollution cap for greenhouse gases.”
I always thought "science" was a process, not a organic being that "demands" we go back to hairshirts and spiked clubs.
How in the F have we let these people beat us on any topic is beyond me.

Washington, DC is a weather weenie town.
Yeh, we were at Andrews for 3+ years. The first year there was a snow storm in Dec. and the contractor for snow removal "wasn't ready." And I remember laughing when I'd drive somewhere while it was snowing--light flurries--and there would be nobody else on the road.

Yep, I plan ahead too. A couple weeks' worth of cat food is not too much when you have three kittehs wandering around the place looking hungry and mayhem-minded. Now if I only lived closer to DC I could feed 'em on Congresscritter carcasses; meanwhile, cat food in the pantry means the local hobos are safe.

83 Last night at the grocery store, it was a mob scene with people stocking up on groceries like the Martians just landed.
I learned something from the all the Mormons I did remodels for.
I took all my grocery receipts for 90 days and purchased all the staple items,
paper goods and bottled water. I bought shelves and now I just do my regular shopping, rotating the new stuff to the back and using the oldest stuff.
Four, 5 gallon Blitz Steel cans stagger rotated every other week.
Never let the gas gauges on the cars get below half.
Yamaha 2000w generator. 1800w solar setup with inverters and extra batteries.
Only use Imedion Next Generation rechargeable batteries with a Maha charger. Lots of LED flashlights.
Shortwave radio.
Six 20 pound propane bottles and a camp stove.
Altogether it was less than $3500
Any real problems and I'm good for several weeks.

112 Is a 12 pack too much for a party with co-workers?
You have to ask yourself two questions: 1: are any of these people folks you want to impress, and 2: are any of them folks you really, sincerely, would like to nail?
Here is the analytical matrix I would construct:
1=Y, 2=Y, answer = NO
1=Y, 2=N, answer = NO
1=N, 2=Y, answer = NO
1=N, 2=N, answer = NO
You're most welcome. I do climate modeling work too.

157 I presume your survival cupboard includes at least a shotgun and plenty of shells.
At least would be an understatement
More important is the training

We don't get a lot of snow here in NE Florida but when we do its fun. The last time we had freezing rain (2" of solid ice) followed by 2" of snow. Shut the whole city down. I took my '67 El Camino out in it for the experience. The local Albertson's parking lot was empty so I had a little skid-pad fun. The Sheriff's boys were there watching me the whole time. What the hell were they gonna do? Chase me? They actually got out of their patrol unit and watched, applauding when I did a complete 720. Good Time, Good Times.
'67 El Camino = failed traction.

Moved out of Chicago- suffice to say, was happy to get the hell out of that shitbin for political reasons by the time we hit the Missouri border. Okay fine- by the time we turned off Lake Shore Drive and onto 55.

We have been in Christmas rush mode, it really sucks to be us right now. Back spasms, swollen joints and you got to keep faking that smile every time another customer walks in. Thankfully Christmas and New Years fall on fridays this year so we will get a little time to recover.

I was stationed at Shaw AFB, SC in the early 90's. One day we got about a half inch of freezing rain/snow. I was going to the store and stopped in a strip mall outside the base where there was a county sheriff in the parking lot doing donuts. After he stopped and went into the store, I laughed and told him the cops up here in SE Mich would give him a ticket for that. He said that was the first time he was able to do it and it was too much fun.

Which means I can now sit here and laugh and laugh and laugh at everyone else.

Peaches: it's all clear now. Perhaps "south Bay Area" is a better description.
eman: San Jose area. San Mateo is about 30 miles away, and on the way to SF.
