PSA: Stupid weather. (Definite change in plans.)

meri 2013.02.07

In case anyone’s missed the memo, it looks like the French Toast Alert System is in full swing from New York State on upwards, starting tomorrow. You know, the day we were planning on driving through New York on upwards.

So yeah, not so much. G and I are opting to not take the risk, and are staying here in the DC area, where we’re supposed to get annoying wintery mix. This really sucks, because we had a lot of fun stuff planned for the trip, and there has been a great deal of back and forth on how we could possibly make it work. In the end, though, we’re opting for “better safe than sorry.”

I hope that everyone stays safe and warm, and that Saturday night’s festivities continue to be a blast, despite the onslaught. Maybe Jer can take his tablet and we can Skype me and G in or something. 🙂

From the CNN news alert system:

Major U.S. airlines have canceled 2,933 flights ahead of what could be a historic blizzard in the Northeast on Friday.

Forecasters expect a wintry blast churning across the nation and a cold front barreling up the East Coast to converge and dump as much as a foot of snow in New York and up to 3 feet in Boston. They also warn of potential white-out conditions across the region.

The most severe weather is expected to hit Massachusetts on Friday between 2 and 5 p.m.

*shakes fist* Still not king. Know how I know? If I were king, I’d control the damned weather!

(G has just informed me that I shouldn’t curse the weather, because right now, it’s not supposed to do anything but be mildly annoying to our weather, but boy, that could change. Hrmph. It’s my fist, and I’ll shake it if I wanna. (So, yeah, if the storm veers south, my bad.))
