I can understand your viewpoint. How about we settle on say one 15"-20" storm a season and be done with it?

I work in Dulles, live in Maryland, and absolutely have to work tomorrow. I am screwed.

Edit: Also, I drive a Civic with crappy tires.

Better than a 350Z with crappy tires.

LOL, this man speaks the truth.

And I'm jealous. I want an epic snow storm. We've had a lot of storms this year, but they all dump 4-6" and then it melts through the week until the next one comes along and dumps 4-6".

Lame.

Just put the General Altimax Arctic's on the rear of the GTO*, Consumer Reports rated them 2nd best snow tires. I still plan on driving to PA tomorrow to go skiing this weekend.

*i have "winter" tires in the front which have never had much of a problem turning or stopping in the snow, the problem with this car has always been getting started. so i'm not totally mismatching tires.

Wow I wish they did that here lol. I would get way more done too, less distractions.

1 inch, 1 foot, 5 feet, freezing rain, hail, blizzard.... either way, no excuse not to be at work unless you're sick or you took the day off with approval.

School buses do sometimes get cancelled though if the roads are VERY bad, or if it's VERY cold (I think the threshold is like -45C or below and there's a max of like 3 times in a year).

It's HEEEEEEEEERE! You ready, VA, MD, DE, S. PA, S. NJ peeps?!?

I am looking outside right now.
There are no flakes in Manassas Park.
Am ready. Got tons of canned goods, water, first aid stuff, flashlights on sale from Home Depot as well as good Maglights and a Surefire. Stuff to burn safely and keep warm. Most importantly: A camera, cuz this may be indeed epic for Virginia.

Current observations show precip has reached the ground about 2/3 the way up VA. Can't trust radars as they show precip that isn't hitting the ground (evaporating)

Started about an hour ago. Light fluffy stuff, but if it keeps coming we will be in for a bad storm.

And I just remembered I dont have any fleshlights.

I think your radar is having some near field issues.
You are probably already covered...
