It's the Storm of the Century of the Week!

Run for your lives!

A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect from 7 am this morning to midnight EST tonight.

An area of low pressure over the northeastern Gulf of Mexico will
move northeast to near Cape Hatteras by late this afternoon... and
then up the eastern Seaboard tonight. Well ahead of this system
precipitation will spread north from near Fredericksburg early
this morning... to near Baltimore by late morning.

Precipitation is expected to remain snow into the afternoon
hours... before gradually mixing with and changing to rain from
east to west this afternoon. Precipitation will mostly be rain
tonight... but with temperatures hovering near freezing...
particularly west of Interstate 95... some patches of freezing rain
may linger into the evening hours.

An inch or two of snow can be expected along the Interstate 95
corridor today... with 2 to 4 inches possible in the nearby western
suburbs.

I confess that I drank the kool aid this morning and came to work decked out in tweed, corduroy and my ol' Bean boots, the last because my dislike of cold, wet feet grows more intense as I get older.

The punch line? Not a flake so far......

Meanwhile, Mom reports that her little corner of Midcoast Maine has already seen near four feet this year, waaaaay above average. We blame global warming, of course. Or sump'in.

NOONISH UPDATE: Okay, it's coming down nicely now. Very pretty. They say the snow won't last but will turn into sleet or rain later. Since I have to drive home in it, I don't feel too bad about this. Glad I wore my Bean boots after all.
