Damn, I would love to come if I could make it work….

You think  I could bring my work laptop lol. I could try and come problem is I am technically on-call until 9 pm. 

If bringing the laptop makes it work, then do it.  You can relay @Stormtracker04's pbp to us.

Idk - should we just pick a place and see if anyone joins us? I like Succotash in downtown dc but I’m open to ideas

What day are you all thinking?

I was thinking Thursday but could also do Friday to make sure we aren’t celebrating too prematurely, lol. I’ve got no real preference

I might be able to make Thursday but already have a commitment on Friday.  Maybe I can get @Scraff to carpool with me.

As much as I'd like to do a meet-up, battling the hack/cough/wheeze stuff, blah. Y'all have fun!

I took the Acela every week for nearly 4 years. It's not Japan-esque but it sure as hell beats driving up/down 95. New ones are pretty slick too.

I go twice a week and i HATE the new ones. The seats are so uncomfortable.

If the storm comes further north, @Bob Chill may get the foot of ice he’s always wanted.

I would just have to like step-out if I got a work related call but should be able to make it work. I’ll call the place ahead of time and see if they have wifi I can connect to.

Awesome!  Good to have another Alexandrian there.

Cool - once we get a sense of attendees I’ll PM folks my number just so we know who to look out for. Cya soon!

Man. love to meet up with you and @nw baltimore wx and anyone else. However, I have plans for heading to DC Friday for some fresh Other Half brews. Probably be there from 1-4 or so. If anyone can swing that, love to meet up.

Always one model that has to crap on things...as long as the EURO doesn't do that it's OKAY...

Looks like “Fern” will take over “Snowmeggdon” and “SnowZilla”. Do we agree?

[AlexD1990]

definitely nervous now, although still hopeful that the floor/worst case for this side of the bay is still a few inches even if we mix. just no big ice storm. power outages are no bueno.

Oh get ready for the freak outs about amped / sleet in the storm thread.
