My final(ish) forecast for this weekend's storm. Confidence is low for everywhere except Hampton Roads and SW VA. The snow forecast is lower in the #RVA area, but high winds are possible and - thanks to our recent ice storm - widespread power outages are possible. See alt text for discussion. #vawx

I remembered this pic and went looking for it. Fortuitous that it was exactly 16 years ago.
Church Hill (2010) "Davinci’s is open, GlobeHopper said that they’d be open, the busses are running, all of the corner stores seem to be doing business… The library and the dump are closed. Anybody know if Buzzy’s, Hill Cafe, Patrick Henry’s, CVS, or the Market are open?" chpn.net/2010/01/30/w...

With at least 4 days of this left I’m really starting to get judgy about folks who haven’t cleared their sidewalks. Especially businesses & apartment buildings. And *especially* if they did clear their parking lots. #rva

Just took a quick walk in Church Hill:
• Only Broad has been plowed; every other street appears to be a solid sheet of ice
• If a sidewalk hasn't been shoveled, it's covered in 2" ice

I joined @robinkelly.house.gov’s resolution to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem for all she has done to wreak havoc on our communities and violate civil liberties.
Enough is enough.

Dreaming of warmer days. Here's my favorite pic of my bike I took last year, right at the start of the Ohio to Erie Trail in Cincinnati.
