Maybe it was the Newfoundlanders. They probably came up with "down east Maine" too. :p

Checking the radar map for out there - it does not look pretty, even with all those colors :(

Ok it's coming down at a good speed now. I'll leave work maybe 15 mins. early today.
:) Take care everyone and be safe on the roads.

It's snowing here, too, but not sticking yet. I looked at the Baltimore Sun's webpage and it says they could get 30".....or more!:eek:
We're going to get a lot, over a foot, maybe two.:(
I hate the stuff.:mad::mad:
All the banks in the area are closed and will be closed tomorrow. YAY!
I hate losing power as much as the next person, but I DO love snow and taking Mikey out in it. It's quite fun. Not to mention, the "inclement weather" also cancelled my auditions - so I am VERY happy about that too! I have a whole 'nother week to practice.
It's supposed to pass South of us, but I am still kind of hopeful we'll get some.
And Richard, it's call a Nor'Easter because of the directions of the winds in the storm. The weather mass from the south come up and meets cold air cycling in from the North Atlantic, and it spirals counter-clockwise, syphoning more moisture in off the Atlantic, adding to the snow or wind totals. It tends to wreak havoc on the shoreline as well.
I hope everyone stays safe and warm.
It started snowing about an hour ago here, and it's just starting to stick.
I'm afraid it's going to be a very looooong weekend!
Hey Karen - I think he was wondering why it's called a nor'Easter and not a north'Easter. :DQuote:

The transport for our little foster, Gretchen, was cancelled for tomorrow (since it goes way north to NY). It was postponed til Sunday thinking the roads will be clearer. Safer, surely.
I am all too happy to have it delayed a day....letting go of this little shepherd is turning out to be harder than we thought. :(
Well we are right on the line between 12-18 inches and 18-24 inches.
but we are ready :)
I'm an export from RI, so I used to talk funny too!!! :pQuote:

None of us are interested in the Super Bowl, so we're going to eat spaghetti and just enjoy each other's company. The roads should be ok by then. It's funny, I don't mind staying in when it snows if it's my choice but if I have to stay in b/c I'm snowed in, I get panicky. :confused:
There's a very easy solution to the problem >>>Quote:
