Some (very bad word inserted here) in an SUV tried to kill me this morning on my way to school. Gah! JUST BE CAREFUL! It’s not that hard to drive in snow! ---

It took me 45 minutes to drive to the gym. Which is 2 miles away. :eek: ---

Ugh, I’m really hating snow right about now. If I ever see snow again after this winter it will be too damn soon. At least the train this morning was running ok, I’m sure some idiot will park on the tracks like last time it snowed though so we can hit them again. ---

6-10 inches tonight _The Washington Post_ claims. What’s the betting line on that? Any takers? ---

I thought it was 6-10 inches by noon tomorrow. They’ve upped the forecast? ---

OK, that is quite enough. My sweetie and I have plans to stroll hand in hand down the main drag in Daytona. Bike Week starts tomorrow, dagnabbit! We’ve got plans. Snow is _not_ part of the plans. If they close down BWI, I shall be miffed, I tell you! :mad: ---

Then prepare to be miffed. Or get him out NOW. They’re calling for 12-14 ‘in the northeastern panhandle of West Virginia’. Theios and I are gonna get creamed. ---

No idea how much we got here. Looks like about 4 or 5", but I’ve been known to underestimate. ---

Nor here, but enough to close down the schools for the day. I don’t understand the hysteria. ---

Eh, they’re just not used to it. If this happened every year (instead of every 5 or 6) they’d learn to shrug it off. ---

Just thought y’all should know that Chicago had the third dryest February on record. I even bought little snow shovels for the kids and everything.
