    Second Snowstorm is Over 

    So, after all the hubbub and media coverage (both from local outlets and nationwide), the second snowstorm is done! Whew!

    Now comes the snow shoveling extravaganza… once again.

    Here’s a WTOP online news article about the snowstorm that began yesterday and still raging this morning:

      Note how the blizzard warning has been extended until later this evening.

      And how odd it is that the story mentions the start of the blizzard warning as 10 AM… since the story was posted earlier today, and just by looking out the window, it’s obvious that the blizzard has been with us already… :-(

      Steve, I’m amazed you see such quirks in stories so quickly. I’m glad you pointed it out because I was confused at first by the post on that site.

        Thanks! Hope you’re taking it easy at home instead of venturing out!

        (I’m guessing that you’re a fellow DC “regioner”…) :-)

    It seems that a lot of local news outfits are now reporting about the really bad whiteout and the tremendous quantity of traffic accidents (and incidents, too)…

    Definitely dangerous out there! And some people are once again experiencing power outages.

      A lot of people are apparently barely able to see the traffic in front of them, past their hoods. They are also barely avoiding colliding with the cars in front or behind them because several reckless drivers are motoring around without their headlights on in these blizzard conditions.

      Scary!

    Whiteout! Second Mega Blizzard of 2010! 

    Now that the sun has risen in the Washington, DC area, you can look outside and see… nothing but white!

    … And you can hear the howling of the high winds.

    Yes, folks, it appears that what this second Mega Blizzard may not have in terms of chart-topping snow depth, it will definitely compensate by having intense high winds that reduce visibility to virtually nothing. If you have no legitimate business outdoors, please stay inside!

      Hey, you’re right! I woke up and looked outside. More snow. More mess. More shoveling. (groan)
