...WINTER STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 7 AM SATURDAY TO 7 AM EST
SUNDAY...
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN STERLING VA HAS ISSUED A
WINTER STORM WARNING.
A WINTER STORM DIVING OUT OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS WILL BRING SNOW TO
THE MID ATLANTIC SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. SNOW IS CURRENTLY
EXPECTED TO BEGIN IN THE HIGHLANDS OF EASTERN WEST VIRGINIA AND
WESTERN MARYLAND AROUND 5 TO 7 AM. THE SNOW WILL SPREAD EAST AND WILL
MOVE OVER CENTRAL MARYLAND AND NORTHERN VIRGINIA BETWEEN 7 TO 10 AM.
SNOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AND INTO THE EVENING BEFORE
ENDING BETWEEN 7 AND 11 PM. THE SNOW WILL BE HEAVY AT TIMES DURING
THE MIDDAY AND AFTERNOON HOURS. 4 TO 8 INCHES IS EXPECTED BEFORE
ENDING. TEMPERATURES WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 20S DURING THE
EVENT. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT DURING THE DAY...THEN WILL BECOME NORTH
DURING THE EVENING. WINDS WILL INCREASE STEADILY DURING THE
NIGHT...AND BY SUNDAY MORNING THEY WILL BE 25 MILES AN HOUR GUSTING
TO 40 MPH. STRONG WINDS WILL CONTINUE SUNDAY WITH TEMPERATURES DURING
THE DAY IN THE 20S AND WIND CHILLS NEAR ZERO.
THERE ARE TWO OTHER POINTS OF INTEREST. FIRST...FOR CENTRAL VIRGINIA
AND LOWER SOUTHERN MARYLAND...BASICALLY FROM STAUNTON THROUGH
CHARLOTTESVILLE AND FREDERICKSBURG...TO PRINCE FREDERICK...THE SNOW
WILL LIKELY MIX WITH SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN LATE IN THE EVENT. AFTER
3 TO 6 INCHES OF SNOW THE PRECIPITATION WILL CHANGE TO MIXED
PRECIPITATION DURING THE MID AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EVENING.
SIGNIFICANT ICING IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS POINT AND THE MAIN THREAT
IN THAT AREA IS THE SNOWFALL.
SECOND...IS A COASTAL STORM THAT WILL FORM OFF THE DELMARVA
PENINSULA SATURDAY NIGHT. THAT STORM MAY SPREAD A FEW ADDITIONAL
INCHES OF SNOW SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING FOR CENTRAL AND
NORTHEAST MARYLAND BEFORE MOVING AWAY. HOWEVER...THIS SECOND PERIOD
OF SNOW IS MORE UNCERTAIN AT THIS EARLY STAGE. ACCUMULATIONS MAY BE A
FEW INCHES MORE IN THAT AREA IF THIS OCCURS.
THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT WINTER STORM. STAY ALERT FOR THE LATEST
INFORMATION TONIGHT AND SATURDAY. ANY CHANGE IN THE STORM TRACK COULD
BRING MORE MIXED PRECIPITATION LATER IN THE EVENT SATURDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING WHICH WOULD PRODUCE LESS SNOW ACCUMULATION.
STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO AND OTHER LOCAL MEDIA FOR FURTHER
DETAILS OR UPDATES.

WOAH!!! I'm off to Super Value to get my bog roll, milk and whatever else I'm supposed to get whenever a sprinkle of snow falls on DC.
It was a balmy 12c yesterday but dropped down to 8c this morning. Oh to be in the gulf stream warmth of south west Cork. :p
-
at least we are not getting 20 inches like new york city
-
i want a job like the weathermen; get paid for being wrong seventy percent of the time.
"hey everybody, we're getting up to eight inches, maybe even a foot of snow."
it's one-fourty p.m., and it has already stopped here, with less than two inches, top. go, go, bob ryan.
-
yeah....still snowing here, but 2 inches so far at most....pisses me off

Battle of the Bands, featuring Chump and 10 other groups has been rescheduled for February 5 at Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts, due to impending snow. (http://www.capitalonline.com/)
-
anyone know if the show might be cancelled/postponed tonight? i've called the concert line and it just makes screeching noises. :)
any thoughts?
-
if the past is any guide I would suspect the answer is no....
-
thanks! any idea if there's a number i can call other than the concert line?
-
The Smithereens show at the State Theater is cancelled. :(
We're going to drink and try to co-opt the jukebox at the Big Hunt instead...
-
I should probably wait for someone who actually knows what they're talking about to chime in, rather than feeding you my earthy, down-home folk wisdom, but I think if they did cancel the show, they'd probably post that on the website.
-
All four acts are here and accounted for so the show is go. You can reach us at 202.265.0930 anytime we are here. The concert line is just our list of upcoming shows. If there are ever any changes to our planned events those changes would be listed on our website in the "This Just In..." Or "Today is..." section.
-
great, thanks!
-
So what happens if the show goes on and we have tickes but are unable to go due to weather in our area? Is there a way to get a refund?
-
Bad weather doesn't qualify you for a refund. If the show happens, it's your decision whether or not you should go.

I doubt it... A couple years ago when the President's Day blizzard hit, my friend had tix to see Trust Company at 9:30. The show was on the first night of the storm. But apparently 9:30 was still open, and the show went on. Thus, since the show was still on, if you couldn't make it was tough shit.

70%? Isn't that being a little generous? They basically screwed the pooch again. The storm was supposed to last Sat. into Sun. and look. Just like last week was supposed to be a flurry or light dusting. Both storms were almost the same.
I don't know if I know of another job where you can be wrong most of the time and still keep your job. The only ones I can think of are current President and Sec. of Defense.

What about baseball players? If they hit 30% of the balls they face, they're considered fucking heroes!

Anytime you wanna step up and try to hit 90 mile an hour fastballs mixed in with 85 mile an hour curve balls, go ahead Mr. Kicky Bally Hero. It's not as easy as putting a small ball in an extremelly oversized net with one's big toe. Although it must be hard because you rarely see it happen during games......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

If I was paid mega-millions I would most certainly put more effort into practicing hitting the ball and less effort into shoving white powder up my nose, or drilling holes down the center of the bat, or injecting myself with stuff that makes my willy shrink. I was just responding to the "I don't know of any other profession........." comment. Sorry if I hit a nerve. You are very proctective of your over-paid, under skilled 'so called' athletes. How can they be athletes when they have the same physique as me????
But do answer me...is hitting 300 not considered a great average? If so, then missing 700 would be the math.....no?
