Amazing timing. I'm flying out to Pittsburgh tomorrow (arriving near midnight) and my brother is supposed to get in on Wednesday. Feels like a lot of people are going to get screwed if the prediction of 6 inches holds up.

Most likely. I mainly hope it's cold enough for actual snow and not freezing rain. The drive from the airport is bad enough as it is without further hazards.

I just hope 70 and 79 don't get hit with whiteout conditions and/or ice. I might start getting PTSD flashbacks.

I was taking a 1/2 day Wednesday, I just took a full day. Last thing I need is to fall and reinjure my quad tendon.

And if it's crappy tomorrow morning, I'm working from home.
