Richmond Virginia is *CLOSED* tomorrow

[underpants]

BIG snow. Accumulation even.

This place will be shut down. 1 to 5 inches expected from what I have heard.

Looks like Maine to the Carolina line will be a field of white by tonight.

NO HURRICANES reported at this time :-)

[Parche]

1. cant run

:woohoo: :hi:

[underpants]

7. Did that today

[WritingIsMyReligion]

2. We're getting 7 to 14 inches.

Suck it, Richmond, VA. :P

[underpants]

5. UPDATE 6 to 10 inches

this place will be neverland

[tigereye]

14. holy crap! We seem to be missing it, whew.

but it's going to be really cold, 15-16 tomorrow. :wtf: We had a nice break there for a while with temps in the 40s.

[Mist]

3. Cold and dank here (Piedmont area NC)--almost freezing, and rainy. We're supposed

to get snow later this evening, 1-5".

[Jamastiene]

6. The Sandhills, south central NC

Rainy and windy and we are supposed to get 2 to 4 inches later tonight and in the morning.

[no name no slogan]

4. Around here, we call it a dusting

But they're going to have fun digging it out down there. Good luck, Richmond...

[Midlodemocrat]

8. Where were you two hours ago when I was contemplating a Food Lion run?

Seriously, dude. You're going to get my family killed.

:bounce:

[underpants]

10. Momma pants is upstairs making cocoa from scratch right now

You have to know that the Ukrops are on the phone right now with Jim Duncan "WE HAVE MILK AND BREAD LEFT ON THE SHELVES!!!" :grr:

[Midlodemocrat]

13. Seriously. Bobby and Jimmy are screaming at him as we speak.

YOU DUMB ASS!!!!! Why didn't you mention this Friday night? Holy Shit!!!! We missed an entire day of panicked snow shopping due to you, you fuckwad.


BTW, Ran into Ben Woods who used to be the NBC 12 meterologist. He's BoyM's tutor and one of the nicest guys I've ever met. He was in my house when the tornado touched down in my neighborhood last year and went out back to reassure us that it wasn't going to hit us.

He said 3-5 at a minimum.

:woohoo:

:woohoo:

I DO NOT have to get up at 6AM tomorrow.


:woohoo:

[underpants]

16. Little Squirtpants is staying home tomorrow

WE HAVE COCOA!!!!

my wife so rocks

[Midlodemocrat]

17. We have the traditional Midlo family 'snow' chili and tomorrow

if they go out in the snow, BabyM, BoyM is past this I think, she will return home to grilled cheese and tomato soup.

It's all about the traditions.

I'm so glad it snowed. BabyM doesn't really remember a big snow here. Remember the blizzards of 95 and 2000? (I think it was 2000, I know it was 95 because I was pregnant with BabyM) the older two were absolutely thrilled.

I'm glad she gets to experience this.

[underpants]

19. We already went out

Josie has never really seen snow (one light dusting 2 years ago)

My wife made the best cocoa I have ever had EVER. from scratch-milk and Hershey's cocoa powder sugar some vanilla "YUM" doesn't cover it

[Midlodemocrat]

20. I'll be right over. The MidloVan can totally handle the snow.

[underpants]

21. ACK! Montpelier!

http://www.wtvr.com/Global/category.asp?C=149378&nav=menu79_3_1

Channel 12 says 4-6 inches
Channel 8 says 3-7 (now there's a range) maybe more...or less :eyes:
Weather.com says 6-10

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

24. I was on this HOURS ago -- I'm way ahead of underpants

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=5162259&mesg_id=5163062

And, dude, where's the booze on that list?

Of course, I'm supposed to start a new job tomorrow and we're supposed to get a foot of snow.

[CreekDog]

9. Did anyone check with Midlo on this?

there's gonna be hell to pay otherwise. :hide:

[Midlodemocrat]

15. He's lucky I adore him, otherwise he'd end up on the DTM list.

:rofl:

Flvegan landed there over the weekend; he doesn't know it yet.

[DS1]

11. 15"

[Midlodemocrat]

12. Okay, now you're going to get this thread locked as a sex thread.

Must you mention this every time?

:eyes:

:rofl:

[RubyDuby in GA]

18. It's been snowing in ATLANTA! all afternoon

We've got at least 2 inches on the ground at my house now. I totally almost forgot what this stuff looked like.
And we will be closed for 2 days at least. And no grocery store in the land will have bread or milk tonight.

[emilyg]

23. I went tp Kroger today and they had everything.

[Odin2005]

22. This Minnesotan sez: SUCK IT UP YOU BUNCK OF WIMPS!!!

5 inches shutting everything down? WIMPS!!!

[taterguy]

25. We don't invest in snow plows since they'd only got used occasionally

Besides, sometimes it's good to take a day off once in a while

[no name no slogan]

27. Not to mention it'll all melt within 48 hours

You don't get a weeks' worth of sub-freezing temps after your blizzards like we do up here.

[likesmountains 52]

28. 5 inches= a "dusting "here.. hardly worth mentioning..

[Midlodemocrat]

37. Well, the difference here is that you have the appropriate equipment

to clear the streets. We don't. The last big snow here was in 2000, so it would be fiscally irresponsible to have the same type of equipment that they had when I lived in CT.

[underpants]

38. No the difference is we know how to get a free day off

they are conditioned differently

[Jamastiene]

30. You are just jealous cause you don't get a day off when it snows.

:9

[Odin2005]

31. We get snow days, it just to be a REAL BLIZZARD!

A foot and a half of snow, 50mph winds, and zero visibility! :evilgrin:

[Lucian]

34. No kidding!

[WritingIsMyReligion]

36. Yeah, I've been to school before with 5 inches on the ground.

SO long as the visibility was decent and the snow was slowing down, they sent us. Or just an hour delay.

When you get an asston of sleet and crap like that along with your snow, you know you're playin' in the big leagues. :D

[Mutley]

26. Only 4-6 inches here.

But right on the coast that's a big deal. People freak as though they aren't getting twice as much half an hour away. :eyes:

[mwooldri]

29. Greensboro, NC : started snowing hard at 7:30pm...

... by the time I left work (thought it a good time to go home) the Jeep was totally covered with snow. Plopped the Jeep into 4WD mode and off I plodded along home - top speed I did was 35mph, often though at 25mph. Good job I did go slow and steady: came across a wreck half way home, police were on the scene: a car had flipped onto its side. Must have tried to go around the corner way too fast. This is not the time to go speeding around: slow and steady does it.

Whether we'll get out tomorrow is another thing.

Mark.

[orleans]

32. will d.c. be closed down? when obama girls had a "snow day"

didn't barack laugh? something about "you call this a snowstorm?"

[Lucian]

33. They closed down the city because of 1 - 5 inches of snow???

Please! I live in MN and we got that in one day last week. The city kept on going, just like a normal day.

[mikeytherat]

35. A photo from the third floor of our house this morning (6:30)

Getting hammered out here in Bon Air.

[underpants]

39. I spent a total of 2 hours shoveling this morning

my wife HAD to go into work

thank god I had that 40 pound bag of rock salt

On EDIT=- that is beautiful. It is a nice snow just a bit too much to really play in, at least for my 3 1/2 year old

[Tommy_Carcetti]

40. Ah Richmond, I have some good memories of that city.

As a little kid, I remember going to the Richmond Science Museum and being pretty wowed by it all.

When I got older, it was all about going to Richmond Braves games at The Diamond. Fun stuff.

I liked Richmond so much that I actually applied to URich and VCU as my "local" schools....(even though I lived 2.5 hours away).

Well anyways, stay warm!
