Their numbers are probably a bit light as they end on Saturday and do not include the full time for the storm, which continues into Sunday. The briefing should be complete, but its from the gubmint and might not be ;)

Snow totals will be updated twice tomorrow and once on Friday, then again once the storm arrives.

Foregoing the bread, milk and eggs.

Interesting to see the changing colors on this map. The blizzard watch has been upgraded to a blizzard warning for most of the pines, but it's been downgraded to a winter storm warning down here.

I got a robo-call from Atlantic City Electric last night, saying that a storm was coming, my electricity might go off, and that I shouldn't play with downed powerlines. That was helpful. :rolleyes:

The one good thing about this storm is that it will bury the politicians in DC, at least for a short time. Unfortunately some good folks will also suffer, but their sacrifice will be appreciated :)
