Yeah, I was wondering.  LOL

I was at lunch today, sitting at the table, facing the window.  My friend and I were talking and all of a sudden I gasped.  You see, I watched the first flake fall to the ground.  I’m not really sure why I gasped.  But, I did.

OK, I admit it, I know why I gasped.  It’s because of this:

…WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 AM PST SUNDAY…

STORM TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 7 TO 11 INCHES ARE LIKELY. THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL WILL OCCUR VERY EARLY SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON. THE HIGHEST ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED GENERALLY ABOVE 2000 FEET. IN ADDITION…NORTHEAST WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY LATE SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY AND PRODUCE WIDESPREAD BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF SNOW WITH NEAR BLIZZARD CONDITIONS POSSIBLE. PRECIPITATION WILL START AS SNOW THIS AFTERNOON… POSSIBLY MIXING WITH OR CHANGING TO RAIN FOR A SHORT TIME SOUTH OF I-90 AND BELOW 2000 FEET LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A SECOND AREA OF PRECIPITATION WILL DEVELOP BY EARLY SATURDAY MORNING. SNOWFALL WILL INCREASE AND BECOME HEAVY WITH SNOWFALL RATES OF 1 TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR POSSIBLE SATURDAY MORNING.

A WINTER STORM WARNING MEANS SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF SNOW ARE EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. STRONG WINDS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. THIS WILL MAKE TRAVEL VERY HAZARDOUS OR IMPOSSIBLE.

Yeah, so it’s a good thing I only have to go to my niece’s Christmas party tomorrow morning and to a Christmas party up north tomorrow afternoon.  Oh, wait, did I say up north?  Yep, up in a less populated, less driven, less snow plowed area up north.  It’s going to be fun.

Now, if only I had a fireplace and could be sittng in front of it with a big cup of hot chocolate right now.  All would be right with the world.
