Yep, our neighbors to the north are predicted to get slammed with up to three feet of snow as two low pressure systems collide into what forecasters already are calling a nor'easter of historic proportions. (And no, I refuse to use Weather Channel's "Nemo" nomenclature because, well, it's lame.)
But unfortunately, Chesapeake Country will not benefit from the storm in the frozen precipitation department. My neighbor across the street summed it up perfectly this morning by posting on Facebook that she "has serious snow jealousy." Yes, Nicole, I have it too.
My game plan involved chili in the Crock Pot, a marathon of Guy Ritchie movies on the tube, frequent interspersed naps, a Pop Tart or two for snacks, and beer, of course. To me, there's nothing like watching the snow pile up while engaged in useless, mindless activities. It also brings birds to the feeders in droves, and since I'm a self-proclaimed Bird Nerd, that's a good thing.
Maybe there's still time in Bay Country for a snow day. Here's hoping.
