Virgina is expecting a "major weather event" tonight, after midnight, and on through Saturday. The WX guessers on
TV are saying seven to twelve inches of snow for the "Tidewater Area". At 2135 the temp is 30 degrees F [-1 C], and
dropping to the mid 20's by morning. With the wind chill factored in, it will feel like it's in the teens. The Governor of
Va. has already declared a "State of Emergency", so he can get federal money to help clean the roads. Community
colleges have cancelled classes for Saturday, and I suspect city schools will be closed on Monday.
I know that people in Europe deal with snow all the time, but for Virginia Beach, this is a major event..... and the city
will literally shut down. All state and city offices will be closed. Mail will be delivered if possible. Auto accidents and
injuries will run into the hundreds. All the TV stations are advising people to stay home and hunker down.
Trust me.... it will be nasty....
