mmegaeraYou know it's going to be a storm when your local weather makes it to the national news and it's the lead story on the Weather Channel, with Jim Cantore on location, no less [g] (the Weather Channel basically ignores us off up here 99% of the time).
We've got only about four inches of snow on the ground now, but we may get well over a foot more in the next 24 hours or so. There's this arctic air mass which is about to collide with a Pineapple Express (so called because it comes to us across the Pacific from Hawaii, bringing a fire hose with it) right over our heads. It'll warm up to rain (can we say flooding, boys and girls?) in a couple of days, but in the meantime...
And, no, this isn't Buffalo. I'm an hour south of Seattle. We average five inches of snow per year.
Battening down, because I don't think I'll be getting out of my driveway for at least a couple of days (when you don't get snow very often, you don't have a lot of snow removal equipment, right, Atlantans?).
