The National Weather Service (professional guessers) has issued a Winter Storm Watch for us here in the snow deprived northeast. It reads as follows:

Since we have pretty much been screwed out of every snow storm to hit the east coast this year, I am not putting much faith into this storm to give us the snow I desperately want. My bet is that we may end up with a dusting. Ironically, if we go get the 7 or more inches they’re talking about, I will either have to A) Go to work since I am so close, thus being forced to shovel both before AND after work or B) Will be snowed from my alley not being plowed and will be forced to stay home and miss a day’s pay. The only happy medium will be my prediction, which is a dusting.
