I just read on John’s blog about the Album Cover Meme where you create an album cover for an imaginary band (after seeing that Flickr is down, I concluded that my band’s album would be available for download only). My next stop was the Washington Post’s site where I learned that last night’s half inch of snow was just a prelude.
The forecast is for 4-8 inches of snow, and a “strong possibility” of 6-10 (or more!) inches. This will make getting to work tomorrow interesting. Plus, although it’s a DC stereotype, I really am out of bread and milk.
The exciting part of the forecast though is the possibility of isolated cases of Thundersnow. I skipped the part of the album cover meme where you choose a random Wikipedia title as the name of your band, but that’s OK.
I think we can all agree that Thundersnow would be an awesome name for a band.

Been there, done that, and I blame Dave K. for this. (He in turn apparently stole it from Dave B.)
