The forecast for snow in the next day here in southern Maryland is one to two feet. For a place that the snow storms always seem to miss and where you almost never measure snowfall in feet, this is quite a turn of events, but one that I will greatly enjoy. As soon as I heard people compare the potential storm to those of 1979, 1983, and 1996, I knew that this one would be a doozie, one that even the somewhat spotty weathermen around here couldn’t screw up. Of those that I just mentioned, I remember 1979 most fondly, as we got close to three feet in Columbia, MD, which at the time was taller than my little sister. Of course, my memories are somewhat vague, but recollections of snow tunnels, a long winter vacation, and everything being a beautifully pristine white stay with me. Now that I’m living on the waterfront, this snowfall could be one of the most tranquil and beautiful that I’ve ever experienced; I can’t wait…
