(CNN) -- Frigid East Coast states already blanketed with snow will get pummeled again Saturday, with more than 20 inches predicted in some areas.
Blizzard and winter storm warnings were in effect Saturday for metropolitan areas including Washington; Baltimore, Maryland; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, according to the National Weather Service.
The storm comes at a pivotal time for Washington, an area that is expected to be walloped by as much as 22 inches of snow. The Senate is scheduled to have a vote on aglobal warmingdefense spending bill Saturday morning.
(Sorry, couldn't help myself there)
It's winter. In New England. You'd think that, after the past, oh, 400 or so years, people would realize that when the days get short and the air gets cold, we get this frozen white crap falling from the sky. And yet it seems to catch everyone off guard the first time we have a significant snowstorm, as though the geometrically arranged water crystals magically appeared for the first time in recorded human history. The manic rush on perishable goods is as predictable as Al Gore's penchant for Twinkies, with people rushing out to buy bread, eggs, and milk.
Apparently, when trapped inside one's house due to the latest "storm of the decade", one must make french toast...
That is all.

LOL on that one.... now I want french toast!!
French toast? You mean LIBERTY toast don't ya? *snort*
With Christmas coming, the stores already were madhouses. As a fellow blogger put it, "They looked like the fall of Saigon" The snow put everyone over the edge. One of our smaller counties in the western part of the state had recorded 350+ traffic accidents in the past 24 hours.
It's ALL madness.........
That's why I love the threat of winter inclement weather, french toast. But... do you have the maple syrup?
Let me be perfectly clear, this snow storm is unprecedented!
Fools! They forget the toilet paper.
Hey, Jay, it's not officially winter yet. Come December 22nd let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. ;)
When I was involved in the rat race, I used to love listening to WAAF in the morning come winter- every time they mentioned snow in the forecast, someone would play an air-raid siren in the background. Lord knows, I drove by the grocery store this morning and it looked like WWIII.
Not to say that I didn't stock up, myself. I now have enough beer for the weekend.
COPENHAGEN [AP] – Shocked and shaken by the theft of the Auschwitz sign, the world community must now "take note" of another midnight action. This time its a deal brokered by US President Barack Obama at the largest and most important U.N. meeting ever on fighting global warming. The new deal, which abandons the most vulnerable of nations along with the world's biologically rich tropical forests, continues a pattern of what international representatives call a "real lack of transparency" by the White House. Obama dismissed the UN's criticisms of his unusual and undemocratic negotiating process as "cynicism" while declaring his unbinding document an "unprecedented breakthrough". Obama's document promises to funnel up to $100B a year through the UN Development Programme, widely known for its corruption. "The deal is a triumph of spin over substance," said Jeremy Hobbs, executive director of Oxfam International, it "kicks back" on the issue of "climate cash". Like the Nazis sending "6 million people into furnaces" in the Holocaust, Obama is condemning the world to wide-spread global warming deaths, other leaders pointed out. Meanwhile, outside in the cold, hundreds of European protesters chanted and carried signs of Obama with the word "shame" pasted on his face.
We've got at least 16-18 inches and it's still coming down.......
Did I mention I hate snow?
This is record-setting snowfall here in DE. Global warming my ass.
Well, the storm that was supposed to drop 2ft starting early yesterday afternoon was late to the party and all tuckered out from dumping a ton of irony on Washington DC. Woke up to about 10-12 inches of nice, fluffy white stuff. Easy to shovel and clean off the vehicles. And what was waiting for me for breakfast when I came back inside? Yup......FRENCH TOAST!
