Yep, I agree with this assessment. Things are lining up nicely, now it just has to happen.

[thepostman]

Accuweather doesnt agree

[SuperJon]

If the temperature cooperates, this will be the "big" storm of the year.

[Hold My Own]

Sunday the high is going to be 33 and Monday the high is going to be 32


They say its going to be 4.5in

[ATrain]

WSET is predicting a high of 38 Sunday and 37 on Monday.
Sunday night, when this is supposed to start, its going to get down to 25.

haha...must I bring up the last time you said there would be snow?

the way the year has gone I just don't believe it until I see it...

[thepostman]

it looks more and more like this snow thing will be happening...which makes me excited...I hate sleet and crap

[HenryGale]

I watched the 11:00 news on WSET. THe dude on there referenced a NAM Computer model which had their computer predictions say 12-24" of snow was possible!

Now....he said it was only a computer, and not very likely at all, but it certainly got my attention. He then went on to predict 3-6"

The latest I've seen is calling for 3-6 inches over here.

[Sly Fox]

I just hope all this nasty winter weather blows out of Virginia before I visit in a couple of weeks. My thin blood doesn't handle that chill very well these days.

[ATrain]

Its a bit icy this morning (at least on Northwynd Circle, but the roads like fine for now), and the forecast for tonight is 5-10 inches

[Fumblerooskies]

[HenryGale]

I actually just came from Walmart...to say it is busy is an understatement....

[Kolzilla41]

Nothing sticking off of Fort Ave... I have hope though that it will

It was almost like the Friday after Thanksgiving there, yesterday...and that was in the food section.

[thepostman]

I went to kroger and it was the same way...i wanted to shoot myself...then some crack head asked me for some money for "gas"....he was high as a freaking kite....

ok...end of rant

[qkslvrsrfrboy]

bets on when they cancel classes tomorrow?

I hope its the whole day, and not the "classes before convo" crap. I have 3 tests tomorrow, all after convo. Give me thewhole day off Jr

[absturgill]

I was at Wal-mart shortly after 11 and the day after thanksgiving analogy was spot on.
