Sleigh Bells Ring

As if to remind us that winter is not over, a quick look at Mother Nature's day planner shows us that she has a major snowstorm planned for the east coast today. The New York city area is expected to get the worst of it, with 15" predicted under blizzard conditions.

The evolution of DC's forecast was quite interesting. It started off early yesterday morning calling for 3"-5". Not a major problem, but annoying. Then shortly before noon they increased it slightly to 3"-6". Later in the afternoon it went up to 4"-8" and by the time the early evening newscasts hit the air, it had morphed into a serious storm of 5"-9". Then right about the time I was getting to ready to crawl into bed (literally) they were predicting 6"-10". As for this morning's forecast, well, I'm afraid to turn on the radio.

The way those snowfall amounts kept growing reminded me of the effect chapters 10 and 11 of the "Bound" DVD have on me.
