Is It The First Storm Of The Century Of The Week?

Looks like Dee Cee might be in for a nasty weekend:

Saturday Cloudy. A chance of snow and sleet in the afternoon. Highs in the mid 30s. Northeast winds 10 to 15 mph. Chance of precipitation 50 percent.

Saturday Night Freezing rain...snow...sleet and rain. Lows around 30. Chance of precipitation 80 percent.

Sunday
Snow and rain likely. Brisk with highs in the upper 30s. Chance of precipitation 60 percent.

Of course, since this isn't happening during the work week, we won't be able to indulge ourselves in our traditional full-fledged panic. On the other hand, I'm beginning to sense a rising sense of excitement around the office, among fellow commuters and even from the classical radio jocks.

If I had any extra coin lying around, I'd probably be investing in short term futures in toilet paper, batteries and bottled water right now.
