Snow Interruptus? Where’s the Beef, Mega-Snowstorm?
It seems that the snowing has stopped!
Unbelievable! Incredible!
But does that mean I should set aside Dragon Age: Origins now, and pick up my snow shovels?

The snowfall coming down now seems much more dense, but the snowflakes have now taken on a larger size overall. This may indicate a “drier” type of snow– with less moisture– leading to a lighter density.

The mega-snowstorm inclement weather today is also a good opportunity to focus on a lot more Web application projects here…
Remember the Tell.IM URL shortening service? Well, the work on it has been proceeding quite well since it was launched a few weeks ago, and I suspect we’re getting very close toward a closed beta launch. Some of you have mentioned that you’ve seen a test tweet go out already: yes, that was from the public-private test bed, and if you had followed the URL, you probably noticed that it works, leading to either Javamancy proper or here to Javamancy mini, depending on which URL you received.

The snow continues to come down in a whiteout type of torrential continuum, seemingly.
There is very little road traffic this morning, mostly consisting of tow trucks and ambulances and fire trucks.
All seems quiet on the Mega Blizzard of 2010 morning side, even sirens are tremendously muted by the sound wall effect of the snow.
And even children are not gullible enough to venture forth into the vast, deep snow!
Is it time to go shoveling? Or perhaps curl up to enjoy a few remedial Borderlands and Modern Warfare 2 sessions?

Mega Blizzard-y Snow Still Coming Down…
Yep, the torrential snowfall is still coming down over the entire Washington, DC region.
It is still expected to be a continuous downpour of snow until sometime around 10:00 PM today.
What is left on the gaming schedule, I wonder?

Mega Blizzard of 2010: It Starts With a Whimper, Not a Roar
The snowfall has begun!
It appears as a very light flurrying, and there are people wandering about aimlessly outdoors, from our vantage point.
However, this is expected to last for several days, and the precipitation has been revised to be somewhere between 18″ – 30″ of snow and will intensify over the course of today and onward.
Good luck, folks!

Mega-Blizzard of 2010?
It sounds like, for this winter season, we’re at least going to have an odd “bookending” of severe snowstorms.
The Washington, DC area already had a severe snowstorm in December 2009, and now the local meteorologists are rumbling about another mega-blizzard entering the area in a few days. This “snow-pocalypse” is expected to rival, and most likely surpass, the Mega Blizzard of 2009…

Black Ice Invasion
No, this isn’t about malicious software making its way across the Internet (although that certainly could be happening at any point)…
Rather, the snowstorm overnight managed to blanket the Washington, DC area with nasty, slippery ice and snow, making travel highly hazardous, especially in the early morning hours.
Stay indoors, and stay entertained with something like Naruto Shippūden or Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

White Christmas?
Will the Washington, DC area get that wondrous white Christmas this year?
We just had a massive snowstorm a few days ago, and while many of the primary thoroughfares have been cleared for public consumption, there are still plenty of secondary roads that desperately require attention.
Some weatherpersons are reporting the possibility of another large snowstorm coming into the region, however, so perhaps it could happen…

The Snowfall is Over… Now Comes the Hard Part
Well, it looks like the blizzard has wrapped up its massive multi-day snowfall… which is great, but now comes the arduous task of digging ourselves out of our homes, assessing the damage, and making preparations to circumvent the inevitable re-freezing overnight and over the next few days.
