Like I said, it's not looking good... but if it's that bad, maybe the entire
event will be postponed. So I'm sort of hoping that if I can't go, nobody can.
Somehow I doubt that the people who schedule and reschedule these things
will consult me before they make their decision. Perhaps the airport will make
the decision for them.
So either way, sorry Nathan, but I probably
won't be there. I know your heart is just breaking
at the thought.
Firebrand of Florence, on the other hand - I'll be there no
matter what the weather.
Finally, as a sort of addendum to this post, after pasting
the weather service report here, the formatting went
insane on me and my attempts to make the page
pretty have been futile.
Hopefully no one's eyes are going all wonky from it
like mine are.

As someone who just left Baltimore (and whose dad lives nearby in DC), I can tell you that they tend to overreact when it comes to snow in general. In actuality, it may only be a flurry.
I know, I know. They do that here too. My theory is that the weather reporters get kickbacks from the milk, egg and bread distributors. I mean, we all know everyone loves to make french toast when it might snow.
Ah, if only I could cook, because French Toast sounds nice right about now.
