I'm planning on driving down to DC on Saturday night. Unfortunately, they're predicting a big snowstorm. I always figure "Hey, I'll drive slow". But I haven't been following the weather reports, and my dad and our realtor are telling me I'm crazy to attempt it. So, I'm trying to decide what to do.
I've been watching The Weather Channel for the past few minutes and I haven't seen anything that sounds terrible. I've been told they're predicting 6-12 inches, but The Weather Channel says something like 1-3 inches are expected. Though that's around here -- I don't know what it's supposed to be farther south. Actually (later), I thought I heard them say that most of the snow should be up between Philly and Boston, not south.
I could leave earlier on Saturday, but I'm driving down with a friend who I'm planning to stay with on Saturday night, so that screws her up since she's at a wedding during the day on Saturday. But the chance of getting stuck along 95 in a snowstorm and freezing overnight is unacceptable. So, I have to decide what I want to do.
Update: they said 6-12 between Philly and Boston, and I think 4-6 around Baltimore and DC. Hmm...
Update: Argh, they keep upping the estimates. We're supposed to get up to 18 inches up here.
