That WKRP clip never gets old...

Never. One of television's greatest moments.

Agreed.  I am going to show my daughter the clip when she gets home from work tonight.  I was just describing KRP the other night.  And that was one of its greatest moments.

The DC area is going to miss out on most of the snow.  Areas to the north and west may get some, but where I live I don't think it will amount to much.  The metro authority has already cancelled much of the bus service for Tuesday, which I often use to get to work.  I'll take the metro in, but they are doing track work on my route and not running the trains very often, so it will be a slow commute.  Oh well, at least I have a good book to read, and many of the local workers will be telecommuting, so it won't be very crowded.

I still have no effing idea how many inches of snow we are getting along the SNE I95 corridor- everything from 5 to 20 inches. It all depends on what the storm does. Just a half hours drive north of me it's looking like they will get the Big White Hammer though.

I think the appropriate response is, "We're fucked".

Yeah, it's pretty scattered here, too.  Where I am on the coast it's anywhere from 1-3 to 3-5, but Providence about 20 minutes north is in the 12+ range.

Everything is pretty much shut down here for tomorrow.  I have plenty of reading and homework to do, so it's actually a good deal for me.

If we don't get all the snow it'll be because it will be sleeting like a mofo all afternoon. The shoreline will be one giant glazed cruller donut by sundown when the temps drop.

Mmm...crullers.

Commander if I am sitting in 2.5 feet of snow while you are losing your mind from three inches I am going to have to walk up there and burn your house down, Godammit.

Don't tell anyone, but the forecast is for very good to epic surf towards sundown tomorrow.

Now, I'm not saying I'm going surfing tomorrow, but if the winds are less than 35mph and I think the Impreza can handle it...well, we'll just see what happens.   8)
