Subscribe to RSSThe heavy wet snow prompted Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell to declare a state of emergency as more than 200,000 residents lost power. In Chicago, a roof collapsed under the weight of the snow and parts of Ohio and Pennsylvania were also hit hard. NBC's Tom Costello reports.
Like so many things in Washington, D.C., the late-winter storm that was supposed to bring the nation’s capital to a crawl on Wednesday proved to be overhyped and underwhelming.
The official forecast was 4 to 8 inches, but by late evening no snow had accumulated, only slush that could make for a slick roads for the Thursday morning commute.
“We just didn’t have the cold air that we needed to produce a snow event here at the capital. It was not produced by the storm and it did not come in from the storm,” Weather Channel meteorologist Jim Cantore said on NBC’s Nightly News.
Boston may see as much as 12 inches of snowfall as the storm moves through the East Coast, and strong winds are expected to batter the New England coastline. Weather Channel meteorologist Reynolds Wolf reports from Front Royal, Virginia.
The real snowfall occurred west of Washington, in towns like Front Royal, Va., which got pummeled with 17 inches of heavy, wet snow. It caused power outages up and down the mid-Atlantic, with crews struggling to keep up.
National Weather Service spokesman Chris Vaccaro described the snow as gloppy and “consistent with wallpaper paste.”
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell declared a state of emergency and more than 200,000 residents of the state were without power, especially along the Interstate 81 corridor, which tracks the western border of Virginia. Emergency crews in northern Virginia responded to dozens of weather related accidents throughout the area.
In D.C., fear of a commute-crippling storm closed federal offices and most school districts in the area. Nearly 4,000 salt trucks and plows set out to clear roads throughout northern Virginia.
More than 600 flights were canceled at Reagan National airport and more than 500 at Washington Dulles.
The storm spun just off the mid-Atlantic coast, feeding moisture to the west. Where the air was cool, particularly around Baltimore, it produced sleet. Where it was colder, outside of Washington and especially the Shenandoah Valley to the west, it produced snow.
As the storm lumbered north, it threatened high wind and waves along the coast, including in some cities and towns battered by Hurricane Sandy last fall.
Authorities in Delaware urged people to get out of flood-prone areas and the New Jersey towns of Brick and Toms River issued voluntary evacuation notices and encouraged people in low-lying areas to get their cars to higher ground.

A storm system stretching from the Dakotas to the Florida Panhandle is predicted to bring snow to the mid-Atlantic states.
The storm originated in Montana and moved east over the Ohio Valley, dropping 6 inches of snow on Chicago on Tuesday. More than 1,100 flights were canceled in and out of that city’s two airports on Tuesday, according to NBC Chicago.
In the Chicago suburbs, part of the roof of a banquet hall caved in Tuesday afternoon, and snow poured into one wing of the building. Fire officials in the city of Des Plaines said that the building was empty and no one was hurt.
Illinois banquet hall roof collapses under weight of snow
The storm was forecast to dump a mix of rain and snow on the New York area Wednesday, leading to as much as 2 inches of accumulation in New York City.
On Thursday, the low-pressure storm powering the storm is expected to move off the New England coast, but bands of snow wrapping back to the west should complicate travel there.

Maybe the snow could keep all the senetors and congressman there and they can get something done.
They were some of the first to cancel their scheduled events (hearings, voting, etc), way before other businesses and schools posted delays and/or closings.
Or maybe we could hope it keeps them from going to the capitol so they can't fk anything up. GMUS
i guess we will see a big fight on whos fault the storm is! some more of the blame game.
Keep all the scum in one place? well there is one good that could come of it, we could build a wall around em and call it a prison. Or simply claim that all transportation for a three block radius of Congress and the white house is suspended, after all do you really think those lazy suit wearing morons would walk that far? ...No way...
Obama also!
Mary
Problem with that is when they get something done, its never a GOOD thing.
GM Tramp. You got that right. But I hate it they get all that money and they're always on vacation. This way the'll at least have to stay there. We all know they won't get anything done.
Had to be up at 4:00am to get up for work but actually only got up moments ago (8:37am)
I think I might lay in bed until noon and watch tv all day.
I Love Snow Days! :)
... until I have to go out and unbury 5 tons of snow off the car. :(
On a side note:
Good Christ. Everything has to be political. You people are idiots! Try to enjoy the day for a change?
obama will pile up some money and melt all the snow...cause he's a smart man...with money to burn...did you read the story were they spent 108 million building a sewer for a town of 8000 in iraq...under obama they will be given rolls of hundred dollar bills to wipe with...let it snow... let it snow... let it snow...
Now the Savages in DC can throw snowballs instead of their s***. By tomorrow it will be mostly yellow snow.
Even the weather takes a dump on Washington DC...
There proubly trying to figure out how to tax the snow fall. or there all drinking beer and saying looks like the national debt. out side. every snow flake is a dollar!
4" to 6" in the Northeast can not be that big a deal....
" Washington, D.C. faces its heaviest snowfall in two years as a sloppy winter storm moves in from the Midwest, shutting down federal offices and threatening to dump between four to six inches". Oh no! 4 to 6 inches of snow, what a catastrophe! I have lived in states, that receive snow most of my life, and have seen 4 feet of sierra cement [snow]drop overnight in Lake Tahoe Ca. area, overnight. I lived through a snowstorm in NYC that paralyzed the city in 1969. What wimps we are creating, to make it news for a storm that will dump 4-6 inches of snow! I currently live in a state in the continental 48, that can have snow at the beginning of September from the year before and I would only have to drive a few miles to make snowballs. That also doesn't take into consideration that I have seen snow fall at some point in every month of the year, in the 20+ years I have lived here. The 1st day of summer in June once, a 4th of July, and 1 time in August, not much but it was snow. One of those times it was about an inch of enormous sized flakes on the ground. Those times were real news to me!
Dear Congress, Senate and White House,
I strongly suggest that you DON'T eat the yellow snow................ it's not really Italian Ice ya know ;)
I thought DC was pretty much shut down already, anyway! The storm just makes it kinda official.
I bet if it was a session on their raises, they would have made it there. This session was probably on whether we should spend 250 mil on Egypt but lay off teachers and fire fighters. oh wait...
Your point is? As I see it, it's business as usual. NOTHING
Seems like a good plan ;) y'all stay safe and keep warm!
They haven't got anything done, since 7 Jan., 2007, so what else is new. (Then, that is when the economy went bust, and the jobless rates started to escalate, and those idiots in Washington spent money - actually created money, with nothing to back it, except the tax money they keep robbing us of, and now there is nothing left.) That doesn't count all the jobs they, basically, sent overseas.
The problem with this snowfall, if it were you or I, Mr., Mrs., or Ms. Average American, earning next to nothing, and we took a day or two off for any amount of snowfall, regardless of how dangerous it might be getting to work, we would be docked pay for that lost time. And they are probably giving themselves a bonus, (with some kind of extra created committee seat, again at our expense,) because they had the foresight to take a shot at staying home, and not scheduling any kind of actual Nations business, (which is what they are overpaid to do.)
Enjoy the hardship.
As long as Satan is sitting in the leaders chair that is all you people that support him are going to get.
As for me, i'm going to sit back, admire the Lords Omnipotence and watch ya suffer, because ya deserve nothing less.
Oh and, it's gonna get worse so ya better get your excersize. Turn some of that fat into muscle. Your gonna need it.
Was hoping the storm meant that these public servants working for us would literally be sequestered at their JOBS.
But, according to a post above, they buggered out prior to the storm . . . Seems to be a pattern developing . . .
Plain Bob is up to bat - snow falling and Obama = natural tie in. I'm in MN - we just went through a two day winter extravaganza; just get it done and move on. Jeez.
well so much for global warming??
NBC, this crap is worthy of you calling it news? I have an idea about another article you could run: OMABA MEMO PROVES HE WANTS TO SEQUESTER TO BE AS PAINFUL AS POSSIBLE ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
http://griffin.house.gov/press-release/griffin-email-shows-obama-administration%E2%80%99s-pain-inflicting-plan
I mean, I understand the NBC execs are in the tank for Obama - completely drunk on the kool-aid. But doesn't there come a time when the people at this network have to be JOURNALISTS?
THE POTUS WANTS TO CREATE HARDSHIPS ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE!!!
I guess that's why NBC was in last place when people were polled to name the most trusted news network. Oops - tied for last - with THE COMEDY CHANNEL!!!
And why NBC finished LAST in Feb sweeps month.
Good riddance to this has-been so-called news network!
"overhyped and underwhelming"
The freaking weather reports are nuts..it been 40 plus degrees on the east coast last three weeks! Next five days up to Boston is 50 52 54 55 57 degrees..snow is late.
Rain yes..to warm for snow..mixture maybe.
Ha! This reminds me of when I was living in Maryland back in 2000. We had reports of a luming major snow storm that was dubbed "storm of the century"(never mind the new century begun only a month prior).
Schools and businesses closed, people stockpiled their milk, bread and toilet paper, Blockbuster was swarmed with customers preparing to be snowed in, the snow plows were full of salt and stages all over the state lying in wait. Well, the clouds came and the clouds went and not a flake hit the ground. The "storm of the century" went completely around us. Looks like deja vu just happened.
Like
Global Warmingclimate change,Hahahahahahaha. FoolsIf you, in any way, understood the science or causes behind our weather pattern changing you would not make such posts, it is well known that as our atmosphere is warming so the air is able to contain more moisture, when this moisture is swept over by cold arctic air the moisture turns to a wet slushy snow, the warmer the atmosphere is the heavier the snowfall. I do not like people when they have to resort to name calling whenever they are trying to make a point as in many cases the caller ends up by being the name called.
Thought that some scientists have said because of the greenhouse affect, it is not global warming, but chance of global cooling ?
Scotty,
Quit embarrassing yourself. This is, in fact, proof of global warming. You think because it is in the form of snow, it is not a result of global warming?! How naive can you be?
no nancy, it isn't......merely proof of a storm.
Embarrassing isn't the right word. Ignorant is.
steamie, embarassing and ignorant are words normal people use to discribe hard core liberal puks that insist that when thunder rumbles or lighting flashes or rain rains. that it is a sure fire sign of global warming and not just normal weather.
goodness gracious it's not global warming it's just a darn storm >_>
The enviro nuts never let a storm pass without blaming it on the human race, yet not one of these chicken little therorists can point to a time the earth's climate wasn't changing. That's because there has never been such a period, ever.
This storm passed through my neck of the woods, really easy to clean up the 9" it dumped at my house.
CaptnRon
That must be why we had a drought last summer! I love agenda science!
Scientists have said that global warming would cause extreme weather patterns. Can anyone deny that the weather for the past few years has been extreme?
This is not proof that global warming is happening for sure or that it is man made...but the FACT that the weather for the past few years has been irregular and odd cannot be denied.
Also. the reason this much snow closes down a place like DC and not the northeast is that DC has not invested in handling snow in the same way places that typically get more snow have. I would LA does not own a snow plow-so even 2 inches would bring the city to a halt were they to get it. It doesn't mean they are wimps-it futher illustrates the extreme weather we have been having in that places that are not used to snow, or hurricanes or floods are getting them.
You mean they've never had snow in DC before. Wow thanks for pointing that out. The "storm" is going to drop eight inches. This isn't proof of anything except that it snows in the winter.
uchusky99
So any tornado, hurricane, flooding, drought, warming trend, cooling trend can now all be blamed on global warming? I guess you libs have covered all the bases! Cant argue with you of course, its science!
global waming will in fact cause all weather to be more intense, even snow storms. The 'warming' part traps energy in the form of heat in the atmosphere. This heat(heat is a form of energy) can cause greater amounts of evaporation, stronger winds and larger storm systems in general . Not saying this storm is a result of global warming, just a very simple explanation of how warming can cause snow storms
Btw, I am a liberal so you consevatives feel free not to believe me...Blame it on Obama if you want.
The Global Warming freaks use every weather event to try and convince people of their junk science. Snow, sunshine, rain, drought, cold or warm.. all is used by them and distorted into gloom and doom for our planet! The earth has been controlled by mother nature for billions of years, she is still in control and always will be!
The only climate event that concerns me and I am Universal CFC Certified with the EPA is;
That the Ozone layer will recover from the 80 years of Chlorine we have destroyed it with.
That the UVB rays will start getting filtered and the Phyloplankton will multiply on the oceans surface so they can remove the Co2 that sits in our atmosphere as a result of everything I just said.
END FACTS.
well there is not a thing you or anyone else can do about it so just repent so God can forgive and heal our land!! he is in control of our weather and only he knows when this age will end, we are living in the time of the end, read your bible it's all in there!!!
I'm hoping nancy was trying to be funny.......I sure got a laugh.......
I'm always amused by ignorant people trying to act smart. It's like watching my dog try to open the can her food is kept in. I know it will never happen, but she has no clue, so she just keeps trying, and I just keep laughing.
scottyconner, good one, you barely need to do anything to get them (GW believers and deniers alike) all worked up.
In this cataclysmic event for the Northern Eastern Seaboard of "heart attack" snow or "wallpaper paste" snow... I suggest we live by the tradition of Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love and have your daughter's shovel the snow, who are more immune to heart attacks. With Dad working in the Steel Mills and maybe a smoker. This tradition in Philadelphia dates back a long time. This is the knowledge I share with you. Be careful.
I lived in Philly...no girls in the family, so mom had us boys shovel it...
I'd made mom do it.
I would just move.
Out here in Colorado we call it "mashed potatoes" Or simply crud. Hard to shovel, but usually quicker to melt. Can be a good or bad thing depending how much you need the moisture.
These days, it seems that every weather event, every snow or rain storm that dares to be a bit heavy or prolonged, is attributed to something called climate change by those who are ignorant of climate and the physics of the atmosphere.
Meanwhile, the various NWS models are indicating a potentially strong storm forming in the desert southwest by this weekend. This would the result of lots of cold air aloft and generous low level moisture and happens quite often this time year as we head into spring.
http://www.goes.noaa.gov/GSSLOOPS/wcir.html
Whatever happened to being thankful for the rainfall? Sometimes, themedia is painfully stupid.
4-6 INCHES? Why is this even news? If it were 4-6 feet, I could see a problem in a city like that but INCHES? C'mon. Talk about media sensationalism.
I live in the Shenandoah Valley along the I81 corridor ... there is at least 15 inches of snow so far, still falling and a powerline is daped over my driveway preventing me from commuting to work (as I've been called in to courier essentials). The storm IS causing dangerous conditions in other parts of Virginia. I think the news about the capitol is merely that the government is closing for the day (can you imagine the lawmakers of this great land risking a blister from all that shoveling-making signing a bill an improbable undertaking).
I guess all according to how much snow you are used to, lived down south for awhile, and even a couple of inches is the problem
I agree. They were going on about how this is the biggest snow storm since the 2011 blizzard in Chicago. I was thinking , ok, so what you mean is we didn't have a storm this big last year. The media just try's to sensationalize everything to get ratings. 4-6 inches of snow ( which I will get today ) is called a dusting in northern California.
It is called a dusting because the area where you live is prepared for it. DC does not get a lot of snow often, and therefore has not spent the money to invest in snow plows etc...to handle it. 6 inches is a lot when you don't have many snow plows or salt/sand on hand. I imagine DC has some-but certainly not as much as places like Boston or Chicago that would consider this a dusting.
moth lady- y'all be careful out there hope everyone stays safe and warm!
Agree Frank- we get half an inch of snow here in my part of Texas and we all freak out lol
Cookie -- I'm just outside the DC Metro area. So far, it's 8" and still coming down. Heavy, wet, sloppy snow. Yeah, we need the water, but not all at once!
Sadly there will always be the ones saying... hey we get a foot of snow regularly, no biggie !
Without realizing that unless your town is well equipped with snow-removal equipment you're screwed. Obviously a town not used to getting a lot of snow won't be prepared for a big snowfall. And most drivers won't have winter tires on their car.
I live in a place where 12" of snow is not unusual but at least I do realize that if that snow is not cleared from the road then forget about going anywhere, unless you have a snowmobile, then the place you want to go to will probably be closed anyway.
I live in Colorado. We would consider 4 to 6 inches a dusting of snow. And we could sure use the moisture. As always if it happens in DC or on the east coast it's terrible. If it happens anywhere else we deal with it and move on in life.
Your not stuck with 4 million transients who have never seen snow, let alone driven in it!
Where I am from ( google images: Oswego snow) its not much either, but some places as far north as DC aren't equipped to deal with much snow and people don't know how to drive in it.
Mike40MD,
Oh, we get 'em allright, just not in those numbers. I'm particularly fond of the California transplants. They see a TV ad where someone is driving an Isuzu down a ski slope, and immediately go buy one. They like the traction taking off from a stop sign, but are really surprised when they hit the brakes and find out (rather quickly) that they've got the same four tires on the ground as everyone else.
Yes we are Mike...every day van loads of illegals are scooting down the Interstates, closely followed by the drug runners. A few years ago, in a two day period, about a half dozen of these overloaded vans, driven by guys who had never seen snow, skidded off the Interstates. If I remember correctly, I don't think there were any serious injuries.
GM Bill, Rex,
Let me guess....Canadians right?
Nope, a little further south.
With any luck it will get so deep that it buries them alive
You really NEED to go easy on the poor, under-educated journalists. The simply do not know any better. They probably haven't seen many real snow storms in their short, little, lives and therefore have no significant perspective about this storm. As a lifelong resident of "fly-over country", I am a bit annoyed when soaring hyperbole' is used when the jewel of the country, the East Coast, is about to experience what we had yesterday.
we got about 6 on top of the previous 5 on top of whatever....come about sat or sunday, the flood warnings start.
Climate change? www.weathermodification.com They're not even hiding it now. It's not natural weather/climate change-- it's manmade and entirely selfish in nature. Read. Educate yourselves!
This weirdly textured snow is made by heavily ionized MANMADE chemically changed water. It's destroying whole landscapes. Forests are being razed by this stuff. It's not natural. It sticks like ... wallpaper... to trees and any other surface and is so heavy it destroys by sheer weight alone. The biological factor is staggering. Changes in soil and water ph. It's happening, people. Look UP.
Not true Angelica, it ain't HAARP, and no airplanes are laying down chem trails.
Angelica time to change your tin-foil and post a new look out for black helicopters.
angel, why must you be one of the crazies? How long as it been since that area got that much snow? Then how long before that time. Were we having climate change in the 1800,s, There is a certain Democratic ex vice president, that has make 100's of millions of dollars off of climate changes. You know, the one that just made 100 million dollars by selling his tv network to the arabs. That scum ball and his tubby, kissy, kissy wife.
unreal
I think they are divorced now, so I doubt they are doing much "kissy face" together now. LOL
On the good side if they close D.C. they have one less day to screw the rest of us.
Well winter came in like a lamb, and for sure is going out like a lion. I do not think this is the end of it yet. Have a great day all god bless, and be safe.
And may the devil bless you. What? You don't like that? Neither do I. Do you get it? Not everyone believes in god. It's rude. Keep it at your church
F U AH have a rotten day, your name fits you well
Mighty christian of you. Thanks. Keep up the fake life you live
Hi Carol
The last part of his avatar name says it all!
Disappointed and ashamed.......??
Try getting rid of the mirrors in your house evidently especially the full length ones......it may help.
(GM Jack, Mary, Carol )
Good Morning Sweetie, Hi Jack. Sorry my system went down when that loser responded to me. LMAO that should tell us something. We tilled the garden yesterday and are ready to plant veggies this weekend.
The happy little grandmother from sc just keeps on ticking.
Now you're judging me and assessing my life? You hang yourself with your own words. Is that what your precious JC would do? I don't think so. I didn't insult you. I was just trying to make you aware of others who are not believers. I was making a point that I thought you would understand. But, instead you immediately insult me and trash my life. I think a little self reflection might be in order. Devil bless you and your day
Sorry. It double posted for some reason.
Dissapointed and Ashamed;
You truly are a work of art, bad art that would not sell but put into flames. Some nerve of you! Maybe Your the Devil in disguise trying to find followers since your satan this satan that. go back to hell where you belong. And to your comment on Non Believers do you think they even pay mind to her comment? nope they don't waste their time in commenting them unlike you. Go Bully someone else. HAVE A BLESSED DAY MAY THE POWER OF GOD BE WITH YOU oh wait my bad it offends the Devil of yours
Carol,
You have a Beautiful Blessed Day and don't pay mind to this ugly Satan
Wow. Just, wow.
Rose, GM Miss Florida. God Bless you as well. They both can go play in traffic and in the dark as far as I am concerned. I do not have time for them today. And Satan will not ruin my day or my beliefs. My husband had cancer and without god, we would not be where we are today and it has been 5 years. You will find God if you ever run across this in your life.
I guess dissappointed and disgusted thinks he has an excuse - "the devil made him do it"!
So, let me understand, everything that goes against what YOU believe is satan? How do you let facts in? Sounds like a very slippery slope into paranoia and insanity.
Beating cancer is an amazing thing that HUMANS on Earth sometimes do. Doesn't mean that there was a divine hand involved. But, if I tell you otherwise, it's just more satanisms to you.
dude you just admitted your Satan by simply calling us HUMANS i believe the prayers to god and trusting in his plan we could accomplish anything, you sir lack the knowledge of ANYTHING. So again i will tell you go Bully someone else. Also the only Insane person i see here is you because you CONTINUE to comment. Pull your big boy bridges or Big Girl panties up since i do not know your gender. Get over yourself and move on.
Carol my mom has cancer and by praying to god it isn't progressing thank the lord. What type of cancer did your husband have if you don't mind me asking? my mom has Breast cancer.
Well, usually when someone says F U AH, refer to comment 11.2, I tend to respond. Call me what you will, but I am not the one who believes in myths and magic and then points at everyone else like they are the idiots.
Listen, I don't want to keep going back and forth all day with you folks. I'm sure you are all nice people. My original reason to post was to make a point to Carol to be aware that not all people believe in god and that it's rude to assume all people do. That was it. Just a comment in a comment page just like everyone else. But then you and your friends start attacking me and my life immediately and viciously. So, naturally, I responded to that.
and again your missing my point, 1st Amendment right Freedom of Speech she can post whatever you want as much as you can but the people that are non believers disregarded and moved on with their day so the only person i see that making a big deal on what she said is you. I'm just saying.
I hope you have a good day
I don't think Carol was assuming that everyone believes in God. She was giving someone well wishes in the way she was comfortable doing it. You're reading offense where none was meant.
And I say this as an atheist.
The rude thing was throwing a wish of wellness back in someone's face just because you wanted to pick on their beliefs.
That was my problem. It's not ok. If it was then my stupid devil comments would be ok too. Rude is rude. And the F U AH was ok to you?
Freedom of speech? Ugh. That doesn't mean I get to through my beliefs out at everyone and tell them to F off if they don't like it. That's called being a pompous A hole. There are limitless ways to wish well to people without adding the word god. No need to be naive here.
Have a great day, I wish you all well. See? Was that so hard?
Actually, it does. It doesn't mean it's polite, but freedom of speech is exactly that. The freedom to say what we want without the government arresting us, even if it's rude.
Ah, so now you're restricting how people can wish someone well? Seriously?
Everyone needs to be respectful of your lack of belief in God, but you don't have to be respectful of their belief in God? That's a huge double standard.
It's okay for her to believe what she wants, and it's okay for her to share it. You're also welcome not to listen to it. You can ignore it. That is also okay.
If you had truly meant your devil comments, they would have been okay, but you only did it to mock her beliefs. That's rude. If you don't believe as she does, that's fine. I don't either. There are ways to politely disagree, and those can actually spawn discussions and debates, rather than arguments.
If you answer in a rude way, don't expect a civilized response back. Because you're goading people into reacting badly just so you can say, "You're not very Christian!"
You got exactly what you wanted. A rude response to your rude comment.
Here is what you don't know. I was a christian. Do you know what real christians do? They turn my comment around into a teaching opportunity to talk about christ. But, I didn't get that did I? I got fire and hatred. Interesting.
Oh, and do you really think I don't know what free speech means? Come on! We all have the right to be jerks obviously. But you don't have to be.
But, all in all, you are right. I responded to her original comment with a bit of a slap in the face, I'm in the wrong. I appologize to Carol from SC for that.
Thank you for the apology. I appreciate it MagnoliaSimms you are absolutely correct, for many of years my friends believe but I did not, however I never put it in their face in a negative way, I just went on about my business. Thanks again, we need more love in this world not hate. Do we all now agree.
Thanks all,
It's winter, snow is what happens in the winter! Can we sensationalize a snow event any more than this? Today's citizens are wimps. When it snows, you move it out of the way and life goes on! sheeple...sheesh!
not everywhere kerno, I'll admit I'm a complete wimp when it comes to snow, I despise it, I despise cold!
Besides the point, nothing happened in DC. It rained.
we --the tax paying Americans won't be able to tell the difference----obama and the congress never really get anything done anyway----except of course sign whatever giving more of my hard earned money to some poor unfortunate pos
And as the word spread across the land, the people rejoiced, slew the fatted calf, and made merry, for their opressors who controlled every aspect of their lives, was shut down (wellll - for a day, anyway).

Cute Rex, GM
its going to be 60 degrees later this week it will all be gone and 4 to 6 inches? the people in NE and out west must laugh themselves silly at this.
cant speak for everyone....but i sure do.
Snowpocalypse!! Snowmageddon!!!!!
Or as those of us in Iowa and the Midwest call it "snow"
What a bunch of whiners those DC residents must be.
Wheres our girl Sally?... YOO-HOO SALLY... WAKE UP !! they are talking about the east coast again....sic em girl....

GM how is the weather today Jack. Have a great day.
GM Carol - same ole same ole! ;*) almost noon, 88F, partly cloudy with slight breeze and expected to get to 90-92!
Nice to me that is perfect. Coming south soon, april 20th
Carol
How far south? B'bados is about 1500 miles south of JAX, LOL. You going to Okeechobee? The week before Easter (23-30 Mar), we'll be in St Maarten
How nice, what kind of work do you do Jack, I want a job like that lol
Carol fired off an email to ya of what I do....
I chuckle every time I see the pictures and videos of people with low slung cars trying to drive in unplowed snow in the northeast. I chuckle because they have still not upgraded their infrastructure to handle snowstorms and still believe their little two wheel drive cars will go where they want to go. I chuckle because the middle of the country would love to have snow to help the drought, but somebody who doesn't want it is getting it. I chuckle when the news reports 'heart attack snow' or 'wallpaper paste snow' or 'mashed potato snow' is falling, because that's the ONLY kind of snow that ever hits the population centers. If you can't handle that, move somewhere else. Otherwise shut up and shovel!
If you can't handle peoples whining about the snow, then move somewhere else. Otherwise shut up and cover your ears!
oh no, the Northeast cities are being picked on again, we will be subject to another 4 or 5 months of whining about how nobody protected the residents and businesses of these picked on cities, wah, wah, wah...
Evidently SallyAnn is married.

Nancy. whether it is cold, hot, wet, dry, clear, cloudy, windy, calm. storm, no storm, hurricane Sandy hitting an area that if it were 10 feet higher would have never flooded and cost 50 million in stead of 50 billion of pork, you would say it is global warming. nancy, I just got a flat tire...is that global warming....ie...coldest winter in China in 35 years also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OPEN YOUR EYES ...check Noaa for sea rise in the last 130 years\.....7.6 inches...NOT 7.5 miles

The longer federal offices are closed the better for the American people.
Thought this was "HEART ATTACK SNOW?" (at least it was in the midwest) - Now that it's moved east, it's "WALLPAPER PASTE SNOW!"
Can't make this chit up! Sensationalism and NBC. Like milk 'n cookies.
