We's having weather

[BigDog]

I was just out on the south side. The roads are wet... no slick spots or sticking snow at this time.

[doom]

Where is the snow?

It's right outside my window.


Wait a second, this is not my window. This is not my beautiful house. For some reason, I find myself in Hyde Park.

Speaking of which, I've got to drive from the far east side to the far west side in a bit. Any reports on the roads? The snow's not coming down too hard, so I'm assuming the roads are in pretty good shape. If anybody knows otherwise, please let me know.

The snow is beginning to stick to the ground. I can't see the road. I suppose I could go out and look...

Roads are wet, with the usual bunch of maroons on them.

Mr. Mike Clark, Director of MCCSC Transportation states:

My baaaaaad!

The Dog is Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
And every district in the area is probably fielding phone calls from angry parents.
Every district!

Oh, well, just one more day of school in late May!

The way the weather forecasts were telling it last night, everybody was going to wake up today and think they'd been transported to Antarctica. Based on what he had to work with, Clark made a sound decision.

I'd rather the guy err on the side of caution in a case like this, and I don't even have a kid in the system anywhere.

I agree, considering the information available it was the correct decision.

Yeah, yinz guys is right. Da word I got wuz the supe dinn't wanna send the kids home early to unattended houses. Dats the scenario I dinn't mention in the long-winded one about they's always the Goat when they make the call -- even when it's the right call.

Why am I talking like that? Just giddy, I gess.

Mass Snowball Fights Planned For Nation's Capital

[Curmudgeon]

We're done here. 25.5 inches of snow fell here, with other areas reporting up to 36.

While my cold kept me from heading off to the Dupont throwdown, we had some pretty good sledding down the streets. Everything now is freezing over (the snow was very wet) and that's bringing another set of problems.

Well apparently your electricity didn't go out so you gotta be in decent shape. Heavy snows are really bad about that.

I spoke with my Mom in Bburg yesterday and according to her sources (probably some liberal source like PBS, NPR or the Roanoke Times and World News), the town has received the nation's fourth largest amount of snowfall so far this season. I believe Anchorage or Fairbanks is first, then Denver and then Bismark or another city in ND.

I feel for you, PD. I hope the District's street department does a better job clearing than the school system does educating:)

Enjoy the dry time while it lasts, late Monday night more accumulating snow moves into Central Indiana. Preliminary snow totals look to reach 4-8" by Wednesday morning.

The big difference between last week and this week is that it is solidly below freezing, no chance of it just being rain this time.

While it is true we won't have the 'what temperature will it be' variable this time, we will have the 'how much moisture will we *really* have' and 'whats the conversion' variables:

"There is still some concern over
amounts since thunderstorms across the Gulf could rob some
moisture...and how much the dry slot will impact the area is still
in question. Of course on the other hand the upper low is
strengthening as it comes across and exact snow ratios are still in
flux."

I hate winter weather. Thunderstorms are easier to work with.

PD

Don't put your shovel away. 10" to 20" more coming. Are you ready?

[JayRoberts]

I'm tired of snow already.

[Father Wrath]

Looks like it's here right on schedule.

[JayRoberts]

Yep. It has commenced. And it looks like it means business.
