I got sick of my Mom sending all of these tales of snow and woe from Colorado. They've had 9 major storms since December 19th. She's still got many feet of snow on the ground. Though it melts a little here and there, another storm comes along and adds to the pile.
In response, I decided to make up my own weather advisory for the DC area.
Our weather-free winter is taking a radical turn. We're expecting a severe dusting of snow tonight with some drifts reaching 2" by morning. Mild breeze warnings have been issued and they've advised people who are driving that the roads might be moist. The local authorities are making urgent "don't drive unless you feel like it" pleas to the public. I can only hope that we'll pull through this one smoothly.
It reminds me of the weather advisory from Kent Brockman, Action News anchor on The Simpsons, "The death toll from today's killer storm is still at zero, but it is poised to shoot up at any moment!".
I hope you all survive this storm with grace and serenity.
Pete
