Winter, 2014

NBC News has an article about the upcoming (bad) winter:

A wintry storm that dumped historic early snow on parts of Tennessee, the Carolinas, and Georgia arrived in the Northeast on Sunday, delivering heavy winds and wet snow to some areas.
More than thirteen thousand power outages were already reported across southern New England by Sunday afternoon, according to NBC-owned station New England Cable News. The National Weather Service issued high wind warnings across the area, with gusts expected to reach sixty mph.
Parts of Maine, especially surrounding Bangor, had already accumulated up to eight inches of snow by mid-Sunday, and more was expected before nightfall, according to the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration. Up to a foot of snow was expected in northern and eastern Maine before the storm moved into Eastern Canada on Sunday night and Monday.
Toledo, Ohio, tied its record low for the date at 22 degrees, according to Weather.com, but the north wasn’t the only region seeing the effects of the early winter weather. Record lows were set in parts of Florida, which saw temperatures plunge to the low forties on Sunday morning, Weather.com reported.
In North Carolina, the areas around Asheville were socked by as much as six inches of snow on Saturday. In Tennessee, almost thirteen inches of snow fell near Hartford, a mountainous area. The beginning of the work-week will be calmer, but another storm could be headed toward the Great Lakes region by Friday, Weather.com warned.

Rico says he's not looking forward to any of it, but this particular storm seems to have (fortunately) bypassed Philadelphia...
