Snowpocalypse. Snowmageddon. Snotorious B.I.G.. SnOMG. You get the Snodrift.
Hey everybody! How was your weekend? Restful? Relaxing? A blur of delicious Super Bowl-mandatory high fructose and MSG-laden processed snack foods and delightfully refreshing beers? Aces! Good for you!
Me? Well, since you ask...
I CAN HAS BLIZZARD FROM HELL? OH YES. YES I CAN.
Over 20". It's like God took an enormous, fluffy-white crap on the whole city.
My street now has about, oooh, half-a-lane. -ish.
A big chunk of our cedar tree snapped off and landed in the front garden. So that's fun.
That's A COVERED PORCH, mind you.
Oh, it gets better. And by "better" I mean TRAGICALLY, GROTESQUELY WORSE. Have a looksee at what the Baltimore Sun is saying today:
They're talking about TOMORROW there. We just finally chiseled my car out from under two feet of freaking snow TODAY.
Oh troposphere of planet earth, why do you hate Charm City so? WHY?
So anyway, if you need me I'll be over here building an igloo and stockpiling toilet paper. And weeping.
And let's not forget the fact that they've canceled school. It's like they want us to kill ourselves.

I hate to say this, but you are absolutely my hero, but you almost caused my death. the B.I.G think made me choke on a chickenwing.

School canceled. Library open. Beer running perilously low. Husband jetting out of BWI tomorrow at 6am. And I think I'm getting a yeast infection from wearing snow pants three days in a row.
SIGH. BIG, FARTY-SMELLING SIGH.

I wept too when I heard that new forecast.
I moved back here 8 months
ago from Rhode Island to have easier winters!
How hilarious is that!

I had to drive home from a blogging conference in TN b/c all the flights were canceled and there was no way I was staying there with the additional snow they are calling for.. thankful to have power. Many in the area don't...this stuff won't thaw till August at this rate

Oh, honey. Perhaps this means you get permission to stay in and watch awful tv and eat junk food until it's all gone?

You silly girl! They're no talking about tomorrow! That would be funny, though. No, they're talking about LATER TODAY. Oy to the oy.

Bossy - Yeah, I put this up last night, so it then WAS tomorrow. Now it's Noon TODAY. Arrgh.

You all come down and stay with me! Granted you'll all have to squeeze into my son's double bed and share our one bathroom, but at least it's not snowing and you can leave the house without dressing like an eskimo. That's gotta mean something.

what. the. hell?! my first winter on the right coast and THIS happens?! and of course everyone is saying that this isn't normal, but it's all i can do to not get myself back west by whatever means possible! this is really absurd. a friend in DC called it a 'snowgasm.' i tried to get on board but wouldn't that imply that it was somehow good? nah... this is no good.

I'm going out on a limb to say that the silver lining is I'd bet a bagillion dollars that you look cute in a touque, though.

There are times I wish we got more snow days here in Washington. Now is not one of them. Good luck!

In California.
Wore flip-flops today.
Try not to kill me.

they have named this storm snowverkill. I think they think this is funny. I, do not.

We got 9 inches of snow. 500 schools closed. Your photos make our snowstorm look pretty wimpy.
p.s. Snotorious B.I.G. made me snort out loud.

Usually we northern midwesterners are the ones saying, "Oh buck it up, it's not that bad." But this one I will give you. You have been hit bigtime. Thanks for sharing the photos.
