oh, once she got to that position the WTF expression hit and she REFUSED to move. I had to go drag her out. i just let her out again and she relieved herself on the covered back porch. she learned her lesson i guess!

Trader Joes was awful.

Local Weather Alert for Philadelphia, PA - weather.com

" TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 10 TO 18 INCHES WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS OVER THE NORTHERN EASTERN SHORE OF MARYLAND, NORTHERN DELAWARE AND EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA. HEAVY SNOW SHOULD OCCUR IN TWO BURSTS ACROSS THE REGION. THE FIRST WILL OCCUR TUESDAY NIGHT WITH FOUR TO EIGHT INCHES LIKELY TO ACCUMULATE BY THE MORNING COMMUTE WEDNESDAY. THE SECOND SHOT WILL BE AN EVEN MORE INTENSE BURST OF HEAVY SNOW WITH THE UPPER AIR DISTURBANCE ITSELF THAT SHOULD OCCUR IN THE PHILADELPHIA AREA, MARYLAND AND DELAWARE DURING WEDNESDAY MORNING AND NEW JERSEY AND NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA DURING WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THE SNOW WILL END BY MIDNIGHT WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

WINDS WILL INCREASE AS WEDNESDAY CONTINUES AND WILL CAUSE CONSIDERABLE BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW, EVEN MORE THAN WHAT OCCURRED WITH THE WEEKEND SNOW STORM. AT AND NEAR THE ATLANTIC SHORE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ARE POSSIBLE LATER IN THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY AS WINDS INCREASE. "

Yep it's the end of the world as we know it. French toast fixins won't save you. On the bright side expect the birthrate to spike nine months from now.

so what's the Bolaris Scale for Wednesday?

Not sure yet. We have at least a foot coming, but there is a slight chance for another two feet. It's an off chance, but it might happen.

Even a foot during morning rushhour will be hell though.

[Dana Lynn]

They sounded pretty definite that we are getting at least 18". I ran out to Wegman's at around 2pm and it was a zoo.

[Dayman]

It's a little up in the air at this point.

It will be at least a foot. So a preliminary

[Garret]

I was thinking pact with Satan for youth.

Pat Robertson claimed that Philly is getting slammed with snow because a local weatherman made a deal with the devil. And I thought he was nuts.

[Dayman]

Meteorologists and Satan go a long way back. There are deep dark things going on in the basement of the old meteo building on the west end of PSU's campus.

TRUE STORY: I once wanted to go the first floor of the building after my GIS lab and it took me to the roof. Then I pushed to go the the first floor again after peeking out (I didn't want to get stuck on the roof) and it took me to the unlit basement...freaky ****.

ABC's really gambling on this one.
