The weather forecast for tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon...
Looks like a perfect day for frostbiting!
Hard to believe when we also have this winter storm warning in effect for today and tonight.

GUSTY WINDS UP TO 50 MPH COMBINED WITH THE SNOW WILL RESULT IN BLOWING SNOW AND POOR VISIBILITIES AT TIMES. THE SNOW WILL BEGIN TO TAPER OFF AFTER MIDNIGHT.
* IMPACTS... HAZARDOUS TRAVEL WITH HEAVY SNOW AND POOR VISIBILITIES. HEAVY SNOW COMBINED WITH STRONG WINDS MAY RESULT IN ISOLATED POWER OUTAGES.

Nothing to do but hunker down and dream of sailing. (And maybe put a snow shovel in the car to dig the boat out?)
Where's my bottle of rum?

Sounds like a job for the mystery man with the snow shovel:

Unfortunately yes, JP. We will be depending on the mystery man with the shovel again.
I should have bought a snowblower after last winter but never got round to it. Now I am being punished for my procrastination. Not only will I have to do a lot of digging in the morning, it is entirely possible that it will take me too long (or leave me too knackered) to enjoy what looks like a superb afternoon for Laser sailing on Sunday.
Why is the rum in this bottle going down so fast?
It does sound pretty bad - I had a telecon yesterday to someone living just outside DC and he was about to head out to shop for supplies "just in case".
Yeah, everyone goes out and does panic buying of bread and milk in the last couple of hours before a blizzard hits. Why bread and milk, I have no idea. And who are these people who don't already have enough food in the house to last 24-48 hours?
