leaving work at 12 and getting paid for it rocks.

edit: of course with my luck it will take me 4hrs to get home.

I haven't been into the office all week. We got a little rain in NC. Very rough.

QuoteAn area of heavy precipitation, possibly thunderstorms, is moving up the east coast now. The dynamics associated with this heavy precipitation will turn any non-snow precipitation that may be falling along the I95 corridor from DC to NYC to snow and it'll do so quickly. Thundersnow is very possible, especially in south...ern NJ and southeastern PA, where snowfall rates in excess of 2"/hr are possible. The precipitation is going to come fast and hard, so if you're in this corridor please get to where you need to be for the night with care and caution as quickly as possible.

To start in the next couple of hours here in South Jersey.

thundersnow is badass

The snow in DC gave me an excuse to leave work early. And by early, I mean 5:00.

Yay DC Metro excuse!

just had four or five great blue flashes of very bright lightning followed by satisfying thunder claps...while I was out shovelling. very cool

You know what's badass? Every single person in the Philly area putting "THUNDERSNOW!" on their facebook status.

Munson · January 26, 2011, 08:45:28 PM

Thundersnow is my cork's nickname. I was a bit confused for a while about all the facebook status updates.

PoopyfaceMcGee · January 26, 2011, 08:50:11 PM

Yeah, you were like, "I haven't shown it to THAT many dudes, have I?" Then you were like, "Oh, yeah I have. That many and THEN some."

Munson · January 26, 2011, 08:51:52 PM

tried to tell everyone the totals would be way down because of a wet ground and temps...snow tonight was way harder than either of the snowpacalypses last year but the totals were way down because of it

PhillyGirl · January 26, 2011, 10:58:37 PM

im more talking about where i rest my head at but even up there let me know if the way it looks now equates to the amount of inches you think you will get on the ground

i bet it doesnt

smeags · January 27, 2011, 08:03:30 AM

The inch plus of sleet last night took care of the ground real nice.

reese125 · January 27, 2011, 08:42:54 AM

shoveling was 5 x's harder and heavier this time around. had to of gotten a foot plus.

I just picture the snow plow dudes at night in their pick-ups blasting tesla, laughing hysterically because they are able to bury people at the end of their driveways 3 ft high.
