    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.

    Ah, we New Englanders have us a peculiar accent for some things, and leave of sounds and letters all the time. North Easter sounds too, I dunno, precise and sedate for the lumbering, precipitating mess that a good Nor'Easter is.

    It is snowing here, but not sticking at all. I still see the tips of the grass.

    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.
