Did we just have an earthquake? For a minute I was afraid it was the North Koreans.

Yep. I felt it and checked USGS.gov. It was a 4.4 in Dover, about 90 miles away.

[UPDATE] They're calling it a 5.1 now.

At the risk of sounding like a dick, it should be noted that penis-shaped weather maps are actually quite common.
One woman said, “I’m sick and tired of being promised 6-7 inches and only getting 4!!!” to which another commenter replied, “Well it’s probably because your messing with the wrong weather guy.”
Another guy hoped the storm would prematurely finish and leave people “very unimpressed with the overall experience.”
Other hilarious reactions include:
“If this storm lasts longer than 4 hours, seek immediate medical attention.”
“Tennessee says, ‘Not right now Texas I’m tired.’”
“Don’t expect this storm to pull out quickly…”
“I guess you could say Mother Nature really has a hard on for the gulf coast lately.”
“Storms definitely going to penetrate deep down south.”
“There should always be a warning when it’s more than 6 inches.”
The most philosophical response to the penis-shaped weather map may be one from a woman who wondered how future generations might view it.
“In a few thousand years, some alien historian is going to stumble across this post and read the comments and finally understand, after years of study, exactly how we humans, a clever and able species, managed to let ourselves get caught in another ice age, for we were too busy making dick jokes to flee, and I’m ok with that.”

Everything, is about sex. Everything.
mmmmmm . . . gravy.
Snowing, out here in the Valley. Pretty.
"Pretty much everyone on the plane threw up," said one pilot who landed at Dulles Airport Friday morning during the severe wind.
edit - apparently I need the twitter thread before posting comments about the weather now

Nope, totally good. My post was about the movie Airplane, not about the weather.
They say, up to 20 in here in the valley. And I have to go, to a show on Thursday. I wonder what DC will be like?
Five to eight inches here in Springfield. Not sure about the snowfall totals.
Zero so far in Arlington
Opm said fed is closed tho

I'm hoping the snow becomes significant enough that the MGMT show gets cancelled tonite and I do not have to go.

because the person who would otherwise be holding a gun to your head and forcing you to go, will get stuck in the snow and be unable to take you hostage?
Weather man, wrong again. Roughly about 5 or 6 in out here in the mountains.

Wow, you must have really hated your first year of marriage if that's how you remember it…
Orange snow blankets Eastern Europe. There’s an explanation.
In a satellite image from NASA taken Friday, the dust was visible as a light brown streak staining the white clouds above Eastern Europe, according to the Weather Channel.
