Who Else Is Getting Ready for Yet Another Nor'Easter Snow Storm?

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

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!

We're going to get a lot, over a foot, maybe two.

I hate the stuff.

All the banks in the area are closed and will be closed tomorrow. YAY!

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.

Hey Karen - I think he was wondering why it's called a nor'Easter and not a north'Easter.
