TremendouStormTM II Update 1

As Rod Stewart sang when I was at a painfully formative age, "Oh, no! Not again! It hurts so good, I don't understand. Precipitation!" That last word might have been different, actually.

Anyhow, the disasterologists here in the Cities are again in full-blown ohmygod mode, predicting another giant storm. They hedge their bets carefully, always prefacing their comments with weasel-phrases like "according to the models" (why are they asking models about the weather? aren't their [the models'] heads down all the time, snorting cocaine and petting chihuahuas?), but when it comes right down to it, they're saying that we're all doomed... to get another six to twelve inches of snow between Wednesday and Friday.

Ukko, I await your command. My skis are waxed, and with unbelievable defiance, I flouted the townhouse association's rules by leaving them outside! At night! On the patio! Rebellion, thy name is me.
