    I hope it dumps on us. I want to play outside with my two boys. For preparation, I picked up a rack of ribs, chicken leg quarters, 2lb bone in ribeye, a tri tip and some chicken legs for THE chicken. I think we can make it through a few days. Bring it on!

      I'm glad you are excited about the snow.
      Myself we are around 60" for this winter and I've had enough to last me a while.

      We are prepared also, made a trip to Costco and stocked up last week. The stores were crazy yesterday, no parking, lines at gas station. I'm more concerned about ice and no power (I can at least cook on my egg).

      I think you are getting your wish. I'm in the mostly ice section of the metro area. Waiting for the power to go out and will cook everything in the freezer.

      Y'all are making me wish I'd stayed in north Florida. Kentucky has been buried under snow for the better part of a month.

      I got a brisket, 2 picnics, and 12 pounds of beef back ribs to cook. Can't say I'm as excited though. They are calling for about 7" here in north Georgia with a quarter inch of icing on trees and power lines. The flakes coming down now are the biggest I have ever seen in my time in GA and tomorrow/thursday is supposed to be the bad days. Looks like I can work from home the rest of the week and I can watch my eggs from where I work.

      The weather soothsayers have upgraded the snow event from 5+ inches to 12-20 here in Maryland. We will see.

      I find www.footsforecast.org to be the most consistent for predictions in the Baltimore area, and they are definitely in the 12+ inch camp.

      I'll check them out. I typically use Capitol Weather Gang and NOAA, sometimes Weather Underground. Weatherbug app on my phone.

      It was warm enough here to have windows open Saturday and Sunday. We're scheduled for 8+ inches starting today and going through Thursday, maybe. It wasn't supposed to start snowing until tonight. I've been watching big fat flakes falling since the sun peaked over the horizon.

      If the models get together and we actually will get enough snow on Thursday to snow us in, I think I'm going to throw a brisket on early AM in protest. At least we'll eat well Thursday night.

      You're right Mross. Our area doesn't have the road equipment to handle that much snow and ice on the roads. However, the forecast calls for highs in the 60's starting next Tuesday, so it will probably melt by then.

      I hope everyone was smart enough to stock up for the rain storm.

      It hasn't left Michigan. I feel for you southern people. We have the road equipment and salt. But many roads are just potholes with space around them.

      SNOWMAGGEDON 2 for Atlanta. I'm originally from Pittsburgh and spent 5 years in Germany. Snow flurries here make people lose their minds here.

      Got some Kerosene for the heater in case the electric goes out. Cabinets are stocked. But more importantly, I foiled the Egg gasket so it doesn't freeze shut this time.

      @Little_Steven, classic Nor'easter. Artic low(from Canada) is keeping this wonderful cold air around so all the Gulf moisture this baby is sucking up is dropped as beautiful white flakes as opposed to rain. It's much appreciated in fact. Thursday is a special day and I may be able to spend it snowboarding instead of talking about bloody diarrhea. Life is good! Also, I bought some Kamiks(made in Canada) and I may get to try them out while shoveling amongst other adventures. Thanks, Canada! 

      By the way, I totally want to buy an island in Georgian Bay. That looks badass.

      Now the most interesting thing in Georgia this time is our governor (after being blasted two weeks ago) has issued a request for all large trucks to stay out of Atlanta.  He is encouraging them to take other highways in the state which will put them on the back roads of Georgia.   These are the areas which have less resources than the metro Atlanta area.   Atlanta may look good on the news    DOnt look anywhere else though.  Someone help me to understand this.......

      Ribs, chicken, tri-tips, rib eye, charcoal...All are important.   But, growing up in rural Nebraska, I strongly recommend that you stock up on toilet paper.

      They also have a lot fewer cameras then Metro Atlanta.  People will think he did a great job because the shots out of CNN Tower will look fine.

      It is also classic overreaction to the last storm.  We see it all the time in the Mid-Atlantic, if a school district cancels because of weather forecasts and the storm fizzles, they get lots of angry calls from parents who had to take leave to take care of their kids, so the next storm they don't cancel and buses run late, kids have to walk through uncleared sidewalks, etc, and they get lots of angry calls from parents.

      It's pretty beautiful. That is the place I miss most from boating.

      I think that was a big reason schools did not close during "snowjam".  A few weeks prior, they closed schools because it was really cold and many people complained, so they under-reacted to the forecast.  After snowjam, I think they are going to close schools in GA if there is the slightest chance of chilled precipitation.   

      Which came first the chicken or the egg?  I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg.
