    From the National Weather Service.

    WITH THE 10.8 INCH TWO-DAY SNOWFALL TOTAL MEASURED AT RONALD REAGAN
    WASHINGTON NATIONAL AIRPORT...THE SEASONAL SNOWFALL TOTAL IN
    WASHINGTON DC STANDS AT 55.9 INCHES. THIS WOULD BREAK THE PREVIOUS
    ALL-TIME SEASONAL SNOWFALL RECORD FOR WASHINGTON DC OF 54.4 INCHES
    SET IN THE WINTER OF 1898-99. OFFICIAL SNOWFALL RECORDS FOR
    WASHINGTON DC DATE BACK 126 YEARS TO 1884.
    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. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        What a letdown, man. We were supposed to get 8-14 inches. We got 1.

        I didn't mind the 1/2 day off work, though.

          It's snowing in Dallas. Not Buffaloish, but it's not just a dusting either.

The highest snowfall ever recorded in DC and we're still in early February. There is a category 2 hurricane-equivalent sitting off the coast. And as bad as DC is, Baltimore and Philly were pounded twice as bad.

                More coming on Monday, apparently.

                  That's what's weird, Winston. Black ice is the norm. We're going to get about 8" of snow today. Real snow.

                  6:01 p.m.: Chief Meteorologist Pete Delkus says North Texas is now just a half inch away from setting an all-time record for snowfall, which currently stands at 7.8 inches. "That's quite a record, and I believe we'll get it," Delkus said, forecasting that a steady snow will continue to fall until 9 p.m., and scattered snow will follow, ending in the early morning hours of Friday. "By the time it's all done, 7 to 9 inches in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, with some locations just to the west and northwest of Fort Worth and Denton 8 to 10 inches total," Delkus said. He warned that all of the slushy moisture on roads and highways will freeze by 6 a.m., when the temperature is expected to be 30 degrees.
