We wanted to take a moment to interrupt your peaceful thoughts of a mundane weekend out and let you know – if you’re one of the five left who hasn’t heard – that Snowpocalypse 2: The Crummy One is on.  The DC Capital Weather Gang has updated their view, and there’s good news and bad news: the good news is the snowfall amount seems to be moderating at 16 inches (no more throwing around the scary phrase “20 inches”, though we’ve gotta believe 20 isn’t a big jump when you’re on track for 16.  The bad news, however, is (as with seemingly every storm this year) the concentration of the snow shoots northeasterly in a path with Washington DC is its absolute epicenter.

What does this mean, aside from the fact that we seem to have the most pristine snowmaking-machine-in-the-sky known to man?  Simply put, if the storm can make it, were going to get more of it than anyone.

Time to buy some board games!
