It's The Storm Of The Century Of The Week!

Hey, we'll take what we can get:

... Light wintry mix possible over portions of the mid antlantic Thursday afternoon and tonight...

Low pressure will develop off the southeast coast today... and
move northeast up the mid Atlantic coast tonight. Low pressure
will be close enough to the coast to allow light precipitation to
fall over areas east of the Blue Ridge mountains this afternoon
and tonight.

Precipitation will begin overspreading central Virginia later
this afternoon. Precipitation is expected to begin as a mix of
light snow and rain. However... warmer temperatures aloft may allow
for a brief period of freezing rain in Nelson and Albemarle
counties later in th evening as surface temperatures remain near
freezing. All precipitation over central Virginia is expected to
end by midnight.

Across the Washington DC and Baltimore metropolitan areas... only
a few sprinkles and flurries are expected this afternoon. In the
evening... mainly rain is expected... however a little snow or
sleet may occur at the onset of precipitation. Also... a brief period
of snow may occur after midnight before the event ends. At this
time... little or no snow and sleet accumulation is expected across
the Washington DC and Baltimore metropolitan areas.

After last weekend's spring-like weather, I started champing at the bit to get out and start in on this year's early yardwork projects this weekend. Now? Not so much. (SOOPER SEKRET MESSAGE TO THE MISSUS: No, that doesn't mean I'm going to paint the hall.)

Painting the hall would be the PERFECT activity for cold afternoon. Just make sure you get oil-based paint for the trim. (She will never ask you to paint in the winter again!)

So everyone is going to get into their SUVs (which have never even seen a dirt road) and drive to the market for bread and milk.

And toilet paper...you can't forget the toilet paper...no one in the area has more than a one day supply at home.

FINALLY we are getting our first little dusting of snow here in CT. I just wish we were getting enough to do something to to our local TV newsfolks.
