I can't really turn a weather forecast into LBN. Into GD it goes.

1. I'm in Times Square and it's snowing lightly right now

But it's picking up in intensity. Getting home to CT, even on Metro-North, will likely be an adventure tonight. I think it's time to pack it up for the day!

2. Hope it's clear by Saturday

Flying east to have Thanksgiving with our daughters. We told them a few years ago that they could go to college anywhere - and then they DID! Little rats. Stayed on the east coast after graduating too. Hmph.

3. Snow and Ice in DC made the commute miserable this morning.

4. No problem for me.

Walked to the bus stop. Got on the bus. Went to the Yellow Line Metrorail stop. Got on. At L'Enfant Plaza, was joined by mob of kid tourists (I mean, tourists who were kids, not tourists who were looking for kids. But you knew that.) "Where's everybody from?" I asked. "Utah, " one said. "You've seen snow," I replied. I recounted a story about someone I knew from Utah. They got off at Archives. I got off soon thereafter.

Easy peasy.

12. Not so easy for me

My bus ride is usually 20 minutes to the pentagon. It turned into over an hour on I 395. Frozen off ramps, blur line was the easy part of the trip

13. Maybe no better this morning, per "traffic and weather on the eights, and when it breaks."

Bridge ices before road.

5. This is EARLY in the season for that area.

9. I remember snow storms in the middle of October in New England.

You don't know what's going to happen with our weather from one day to the next. I also remember working in the yard on a New Year's Day. No snow, about 60 degrees and the best break from winter ever!

10. I grew up in Phila and we always missed the real snow

by a few degrees and ended up with slush. We were always praying for a snow day but it rarely happened. I still remember my school closing number to be read on the radio in the mornings...#318. It was hardly ever called. It would go like this..."315, 316, 317, 319, 320...".

11. That's funny. We got the snow days, but we had to make them up . . . in the summer. Grrrr.

6. Yep. On the ground now as we speak.

Hubby put the car in the garage and brought in the snow shovels. I got food in the house for days and days. Nothing like good preparation plans...

7. Supposedly, it will change to rain overnight

and wash it all out by tomorrow morning.

Still, a first snowfall this early in the NYC metro area (and it's not even Thanksgiving yet)

8. Raked leaves all day so that it could snow on the yard.

Not loving New England today.

14. About 6 inches here in SW NH. My dogs

were completely confused this morning when I let them out. Now they're both on my bed refusing to move and just staring out the window.

15. I really get a kick out of how they handle snow here in North Carolina

I lived my whole life in NJ before moving to NC about 2 years ago. In NJ the first snow of the winter usually brought some problems but after that it was no big deal, unless it was a blizzard.

Well, down here in NC it is a whole different ballgame. We don't have blizzards but as little as 1" of snow shuts the schools and roads down for at least 3 days and everything comes to a standstill. Forget plowing the roads. What plows? The towns don't even own any. And, people in the South don't have the slightest clue of how to drive in snow and ice. It is demolition derby time from the first snowflake.

16. Up to 8 inches on the ground in St. Louis...ha, ha, I'm in Mexico right now.

I love it when the hometown is freezing while I'm not.
