Washington, D.C. grinds to a halt. Republicans blamed.
They’re naming winter storms now?
Due to 2015 being “the warmest year ever”.
Here in Minnesota the cold air for the storm just came through. Lows were -10 to -15 for about 4 days straight.
Naming winter storms is B/S. More hype from the “oh no, we’re doomed” global warming crowd. But just so I don’t fit in, I’m going to name every event in my life:
There was “Laundry Load Robert” yesterday.
And “Coffee brew Linda” this morning.
The afternoon forecast is for “Growler Refill Sam” down at the craft brewery.
Of possible interest . . .
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
Just more white oppression set to descend upon Phillie, Bal’more, and DC.
Good thing Eleanor Holmes Norton fixed it so kids can go sledding on a hill near the Capitol.
Powder to the People!
Raised your mitten clad fist to the sky!
Thank god it’ll miss Minneapolis-St Paul.
I’ve had enough of winter!
We’ll still be attending the March for Life Friday and hopefully going camping Saturday.
Everybody FREAK!
Ban all the amendments, it’s an emergency.
Call the Iranian Navy to rescue us!
Just a prelude two massive global warming in March.
The numbers being churned out by the models are beyond belief (and, there is general conformity among them, which is somewhat rare in and of itself). Already, there is a blizzard watch (I think it may be the first issued in the DC area ever — though that is slightly misleading since warnings have been issued). If the models are to be believed, it could be a widespread 2 to 3 foot event, with accumulations above that in spots. What is more, high winds, low visibility, and not even a warm up afterwards. This could be one for the record books, and has a realistic chance of being one of the top 2 or 3 ever, for the region (at least, post-Revolutionary War). Certainly a dangerous situation, given the potential for widespread outages, impassable roads, and frigid temperatures.
Basically, this could easily be the answer to the question: if you had ideal circumstances for the DC area, what is the most snow it could possibly get? Probably won’t happen, of course, but the potential is definitely there.
Global Warming on Free Republic here, here and here
Naming snowstorms is beyond stupid.

I can remember when The Weather Channel actually gave the weather forecast.
This is great news, I’ll be selling snow thrower parts.
OH MY GOD WE”RE DOOMED! PANIC! RUN IN CIRCLES! NAIL BOARDS ACROSS THE WINDOWS AT IRREGULAR ANGLES!!! Jeez, what a bunch of babies.
D.C. gets swallowed by a whale.
Works for me.
They were calling for up to 20” here but now sleet is mixing in so we are looking at 12”. My daughter is north and she is looking at 20” of just snow
