DC weenies are now worrying about being dry slotted. That could happen if this actually did move farther north and west.

No, just one weenie who apparently is more interested in history than anything else. Phin put him in his place. I just about spit out my tea when i read that.

Anywho, the radar is looking great right now for these parts. Time for a 'thumpin'...

Looks like it has actually stopped for the moment in Camp Hill. Management at my office is going with the "no big deal" approach to the storm. A couple of our employees who live in the Warning area have inquired about leaving early, but as of now the boss is taking a "wait and see" attitude based on the fact that local TV and the NWS have continued to downplay this event.
