Just happened to look at the local forecast, since we are expecting a
bit of snow today, and saw this:

"snow with a chance of thunderstorms this afternoon"

Snow during thunderstorms? Snow before thunderstorms?

Snow during thunderstorms is something I don't recall experiencing.

We're predicted for 12 to 16" of snow.

Someone on the Sound, someone is boating. Betcha.


Rarely happens, but usually indicates more snow within a couple of
weeks....

We're predicted as much as 3" and we 20 miles north of the SC line and
within sight of the beach. Lake boaters in central NC are looking at
8" of wet snow....







We've had enough snow already to cover the grass. Not sticking at the
moment to the pavement. Prediction is for four to eight inches in the
DC area by day's end. If that happens, it'll be enough, probably, for
governmental shutdowns tomorrow. Schools are already closed because of
the holiday break.


As long as the market is open, Ullico never sleeps, eh?
