Let the panic begin!

And so, we have this newscast. And for the first time since last Winter, the dreaded word "snow" has made its appearance. Oh, I know that the weatherdrones are discounting it actually amounting to anything. But that doesn't matter. The damage has been done. Long time readers of this blog, or natives of DC, know that as I am typing this there are now lines forming at the grocery stores, and cars are already careening out of control on our highways. The ancient mystics and magicians were right - there are magical words. Words of Power. Words whose mere utterance are capable of altering reality. But it's not Abracadbra or Abraxas or YHVH. If you're in DC, it's just 'snow'. Say it, and run. Because the devastation and chaos that follows is beyond comprehension.
