snowpocalypse 2016

The problem I have with these weather maps where they put the accumulation totals, especially the maps that hone in on the mid-Atlantic, is that I never know where DC or Fairfax County is exactly on the map.


This one, for example. I know that DC is no the MD/VA border, but where?

Own it!
but you were the one saying you couldn't drink beer anymore because it makes you fat

its the only thing that makes me gain weight.  stupid beer.  I can't figure it out.  I can eat and eat and be a total pig, since high school, and I stay normal.  but if I go a month drinking craft beer, I will gain a belly of fat. ughhh.

this, is brilliant.

Latest from CWG:

D.C. metro area snow probabilities

Chance of at least 1 inch: 90 percent
Chance of at least 4 inches: 75 percent
Chance of at least 8 inches: 65 percent
Chance of at least 12 inches: 50 percent
Chance of at least 20 inches: 15 percent

For amounts of greater than 4 inches, add 10 percent to these probabilities north and west of the Beltway, and subtract about 10 percent east and southeast of the Beltway.

They typically underestimate everything.

I love events like this.  it brings us together, as a people.  special times.

I love it because I get to stay inside, make good food, and drink wine and bourbon (or ramos gin fizzes).

Who's starting the playlist?

I will go sledding because I two blocks from a park with a kickass hill, but other than that, yes, I am looking forward to boozehounding and not leaving the couch for three days.

scott walker - winter night
godspeed you! black emperor - storm
red lorry yellow lorry - talk about the weather
wolf eyes - storm cloud
audio bullys - the snow

Friday is a half day for DC public schools, plus I finish a huge project on Thursday, so I'm praying for snow so that I can spend Friday sledding with the kids. We have a secret sledding spot that features huge hills, lots of flat areas, easy access parking, only-slightly-questionable access to bathrooms and no crowds. It's so fun.
