    Sick The Nth Great Storm of '03

    Remember last winter? It appears that this winter does.

    Just started here in Belleville, northern New Jersey, and it's not wasting any time -- lots of flakes, going horizontal more often then not.

    Flew home from Kansas on Wednesday -- your weather must have followed me home.

    Either that, or it's come to give Horse a proper North American Winter Welcome!

    about 2 or 3 inches of snow and (yuck!) "wintry mix" in DC area. Towns not quite paralyzed - yet.

    There's not much on the ground in the city yet. Mostly rain right now.

    Supposed to change to snow and we'll get 4-8" overall by tomorrow evening. That's a nice snow.
    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck.

    Hasn't start here yet. Isn't supposed to until tonight.

    I flying up to NY/CT for the day on wednesday. I've lived with lots of snow before but I have no idea of what to wear with a suit in the snow? Hopefully I wont have to walk through any snow.
    It will probably be mostly gone by wednesday.

    It's been unusually warm here in eastern Illinois in the particular area that I'm at.
    This is where an awesome Mark Twain quote would be, but Apolyton says it would be too many lines. :(

    Ah, the ground's been coated with snow for at least a month now. Not too much, though, so I'm fine with it.

    It was hella windy last night, though.

    News says it's averaging five inches in NYC, already, nearing a foot in some partds of western New Jersey and no end in sight. Airports are shutting down, as has Route 1&9. Other roads and bridges are in a very bad way.

    Here's an apartment building and houses across the street -- the striping you see is an artifact of the photo being shot through a window screen.
