season's first east coast storm by Sunday night.

Since the weather has been lacking excitement for the last few months,
ice on our street was bit of suprise. None the less, it took only 4
hours from the call to get it fixed (8:15pm Wed) until it was. Said one
of the workers: "We're not like (Washington) DC, we fix them when they
break." They even salted the street. Only was without water an hour,
leak itself was only 1-2 gpm.

Meteorologist Bob Ryan (out of the frame) explains his forecast for
Sunday's storm.
HIs confidence factor at 6pm was 1 (on 10 scale). At 11pm, it was up to
4, & leaning toward more snow than the 6pm forecast for Wash DC Sun/
Sunday night.

I will be busy much of the day today (Sat), partly in prepartion for
Sun's storm. I wont be leaving the house Sun & Monday (except for
playing in the snow). I hope this storm aint another bust for us.
Normaly by the first week of Jan we have had about 3 snows of more than
a dusting, & nearly a dozen "flurry days". This season, only 2 brief
flurries moments, nothing else!
