Snowmageddonpocalypse 2016

Snowmageddonpocalypse 2016.
Two feet of snow is a record for this date in DC? Go figure. I seem to recall worse snowfalls obviously not on this date. This is what it looked like this morning after the first predicted day of snowfall. Apparently this will happen again today and maybe be done for now. I've already shoveled about 1/3 of it but I'll have to repeat it after the secondary snowfall. Tomorrow, yeah tomorrow. Plenty of food, plenty of heat, and plenty of power - so far...
Update 4:00 pm - This storm is supposedly winding down but it's going down hard. Nearly white-out conditions outside of my house caused by swirling winds of sustained 30 mph. There's a 5 ft. drift near my front door that will easily be over 6 ft. before it's over. Still doesn't appear like it will be something that can't be dealt with fairly easily as long as people stay off the roads as much as possible tomorrow and let the cleaning crews do their thing.

I was in my car stopped at a light after going to Giant when two jokers pulled beside me and made motions for me to roll down my window. They drunkenly started shouting, "Hi, Santa! What are ya gonna bring me for Christmas this year?" Go »End Of My Blog Sabbatical
Just came back from my local town's (Bowie, MD) fireworks display. For such a small town they really do a good job. This is really saying something where the fireworks show right next door (Washington DC's) Fireworks on the Mall gets national coverage. Go »Christmas Post #22: Full Metal Rudolph
One of the first impressions I learned as a kid was the Charlie-in-the-box from the Island of Misfit Toys. "Nobody wants a Charlie-in-the-box." Yeah, that really cracked up all the girls in third grade. Go »Where's Joe The Plumber When I Need Him?
Screw plumbing! This is friggin' ridiculous. When the toilet in my bedroom bath developed a leak, I assured my wife it was a simple repair to replace the fill valve. Go »The Long and Winding Road
I've led my life with few regrets but those few have been big ones. I've posted a bit about my divorce but not about the reasons behind it. I'm not going to now either but I will say that Betsy deserved better at that time. Go »

After a week of hype by news media, the storm sounds bad but of course not as bad as predicted. Some photos even make it look pretty. As long as your power stays on, you should be fine. Keep warm, Wests.
