Slammin' storm headed our way?
By adamg on Mon, 10/22/2012 - 3:55pm
Matt Noyes rubs his eyes in front of the monitor and says it's not too early to think about what could become Hurricane Sandy, beginning to form in the Caribbean:
[I]f everything comes together in a worst-case scenario, this would be an extremely damaging storm for much of the coastal Eastern United States, and particularly the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast corridor.
Sometime Sunday to Tuesday if it comes to it.

So... start irrationally
So... start irrationally loading up on bread and eggs now?
Also
let's reschedule trick-or-treating while we're at it, too.
"All kids planning on trick-or-treating before Halloween, has now been rescheduled TO Halloween. All kids planning on trick-or-treating ON Halloween, will be rescheduled to Saturday following Halloween, except for kids in Lexington and Medford, who will trick-or-treat on the first new moon following Halloween. Those planning on trunk-or-treating or business-district-trick-or-treating will be rescheduled according to the numerology of the last four digits of their SS# and the candy-granting establishment's extended postal code. We will avoid moving New Year's unless required, in which case 2012 will have extra days until weather conditions are such that it is fully safe to ring in 2013."
French Toast
Milk, bread and eggs!
Trick or Treat!
Single-serving boxes!
No no no no..not NOW.....
....you have to wait until the storm is less than 12 hours away!
And you forgot the milk!
It's Bread, Eggs, and Milk.
SUUUUURRRRRRFFFFFF!
Now where is that horribly neglected board ...
Did you surf in Oregon?
Swirrly?
A storm from the Caribbean,
A storm from the Caribbean, hitting us on Halloween? Can I dress as a pirate? Yar! Is it more French Toast ye be needin'?
After last year, I don't want to hear about a storm unless
it involves copious amounts of SNOW, and not just up north as my ability to reach it there will be limited this season.
Sometimes you have to settle for WaWa, and sometimes, it's even, dare I say it, decent (particularly if you can hit it at night during a storm and that little CCC bungalow in the woods is open with people serving hot cider and doughnuts). Hell, I can even feel okay about making a fool of myself whilst trying to tele, or less desirably, trying to ride a snowboard.
I've got the under on the first mention of the Blizzard of '78
Somebody other than me please, please, please mention the blizzard of '78!
Not Blizzard of '78
NO NAME STORM!
Halloween ... hurricane ... PERFECT STORM.
Blizzard Of '78
You call THIS a storm? I was snowbound in my car for six weeks in '78. Why, I remember I had to eat my own feet just to stay alive. And glad to have 'em, too. It wasn't like today. Not everybody had feet in those days, ya know. Some folks had to make do with ripping out their eyeballs and swallowing 'em. Of course, the rich folks ate their chauffeurs' feet and eyeballs, which was OK with the chauffeurs because jobs was scarce.

Latest uh-oh moment
The National Hurricane Center exclaims at 11 p.m.:
If Channel "5" Uses The Rubric "Channel 5 Storm Center"...
If WCVB-TV Channel "5" uses the rubric "Channel 5 Storm Center" for as benign a forecast as today's, to what excess will they have to go for a REAL storm if we get one?
If WCVB-TV Channel "5" uses
I predict dimmed lighting, pulsing red emergency lights with a pulsating low-toned soundtrack for tone playing in the background.
Both reporters and anchors will be wearing crash helmets and neon, yellow-reflective vests over there official "Storm Center 5" emergency overalls.
