8-12 inches are expected in Northeast PA. Really, I could live without this right now. ---

Nada in downtown DC, though we had some folks from the Gaithersburg area straggle in late to work today due to the accumulation there. A coworker’s boyfriend is getting to leave work at 3:30, though, and he works near Union Station! No fair. ---

About 6-7 inches so far. And the cloud cover is so deep that it knocked my satellite broadband offline until just now. We’re looking at another 4-6 inches overnight. Wish us luck tomorrow. And email directions! ---

Snow last night, but it didn’t stick. Rain now. It would be cool if we had a white Dope the Halls party, though. ---

Cut out of work early . . . Only about 6" of snow on the ground, but it’s turning into sharp little sleet needles that cut into you weith 28 mph winds. And the _second_ storm, the Nor’easter, is hitting late tonight/all day tomorrow: “Don’t even _think_ of going out tomorrow,” sez the Perky Weather Girl on Channel 4. ---

It snowed loads here, and it still snows… Mighty slick walking; hope I make it through a winter without hurting my ankle. Glad I didn’t go into the office today. 😃 ---

I kinda like the snow, **Lucretia**. But thanks for letting me swim in your pool two weeks ago! We’ve got maybe two inches here. Not enough to mess things up, but enough to look real pretty. ---

I’m jealous, haven’t seen snow for a couple of years. Curse this tropical paradise! ---

It’s good to see that normalcy has finally returned, and snowstorms are hitting the NW suburbs harder than the SE suburbs. For the first four winters after I returned to the area, we seemed to have it consistently backwards. ---

We got about 6" yesterday, but the Federal Gov’t did not close, so I had to shovel out the car and go in to work. Another 3-4" last night. However, since I’m not going anywhere today, I can sit here in my jammies, drink lots of tea, watch _Brideshead Revisited_ straight through, and appreciate how lovely the pine trees outside the windows look all covered with snow.
