FREAK OUT!!!

I listen to the radio throughout the day at work and between that and checking weather.com, am hearing and reading some pretty amusing and panic-inducing (for others, not this noco native) terms describing the impending storm. I will document them here as the day progresses. Should you hear any good ones, leave a comment and I'll add them to the list for all to enjoy. Let it snow!

9:07: high-impact

11:22: Here's a picture to make Dave swoon:

1:51: Disruptive Snowfall, Potenially Paralyzing

1:21 on 2/5: the snow has begun! Here's what I just found on the NOAA website...maybe I shouldn't be kidding around!

THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS STORM IS EXPECTED TO PRODUCE RECORD SNOWFALL FOR THE BALTIMORE AND WASHINGTON DC METROPOLITAN AREAS. TRAVEL CONDITIONS TONIGHT ACROSS THE REGION WILL BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AND LIFE-THREATENING. HELP YOUR LOCAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT FIRST RESPONDERS AND TRANSPORTATION AGENCIES BY STAYING OFF THE ROADS.

Fine, I'll stay inside and drink hot cocoa with my hubs. :-)

I want to make it very, very clear that that is OUR SNOW you guys are hogging and you don't deserve it, don't need it, and shouldn't have it. I am really, really upset about this. Further, it looks like the pattern is going to hold. Share, would you please?!

Sorry Dave! I wish we could send it your way! I am posting one more picture to make you just a tad more jealous. Think this guy has a karate monkey? I hope so! This shot is in loch raven where those trails are closing. Looks like he was trying to make the most of it before it's too late.

Just a conventional mountain bike. Wrong tool for the job, I'd say. But then, as they say, gotta run what ya brung.

Our storm is boring. It's kinda rainy. We deserve a blizzard.
