So the early reports suggest we're going to get at least a foot of snow this weekend. Anyone believe we're going to get buried this time? Is it time to panic and loot Acme?

I have the Bolarometer (also known as the Stormocenturometer) ready to go. So far I'm hearing at least five inches, depending on whether the storm is going to linger or not. If it does, we may get two feet. The NAM is predicting that, although that's far and away the most extreme.
So for right now, we're at a three out of ten on the Bolarometer.

I love the spinning Bolarises! Will you put up the sirens when it's time to panic?
When the forecast is confirmed the sirens will go up. My basic scale reads as follows:
1 Bolaris - Dusting - 2 inches, minimal impact. Hoodrats remain portable. El freezes, expect 30 minutes between trains.
2 Bolarii - 2-4 inches, annoyance. Hoodrats will stay home from school. El no longer functional, SEPTA forgot to get bread and goes home early.
3 Bolarii - 4-6 inches, truest to the Bolaris name. Schools may close, most likely leave early, depending on when the storm hits. All but the hardiest hoodrats remain indoors.
4 Bolarii - 6-8 inches, significant snowfall. All hoodrats remain indoors, xbox live unplayable due to their presence.
5 Bolarii - 8-10 inches. Most schools except colleges remain closed. Streets now safe to walk.
6 Bolarii - 10-12 inches. Major event. All eggs, bread, and milk gone.
7 Bolarii - 12-18 inches. Storm that will be talked about next year, typically assigned a name. The Black History Month Storm or the Pro-Bowl Nor'Easter.
8 Bolarii - 18-24 inches. Massive storm. People will claim it is a blizzard even if no wind. El cars and busses shatter from cold, rendering SEPTA inoperable for a week.
9 Bolarii - 24-36 inches. Storm of the Decade. Community College closes.
10 Bolarii - 36-∞ inches. Storm of the Century. Bolaris ascends into the heavens. Only people on the streets are snowplows and lunch truck operators.

The Latin declension is fantastic!! (Latin declinatio optimus est)?
Today we're at six on the Bolarometer.
Models are coming to a consensus, the worst will be south of Philadelphia, but we're still gonna get rocked. Later tonight I'll confirm my prediction or not.
Brilliant. Email it to Bolaris, let him share in the fun.
