I’m anxiously refreshing the Capital Weather Gang’s homepage this morning in the hopes that I won’t have to find out what a “Snowzilla” is. It looks like I won't be so lucky: as of this morning, they’re predicting a storm will “wallop” the D.C. region this weekend — probably with at least 5 inches of snow, but it could be over 10. Sigh. Maybe the icy conditions will give us the gift it gave Minnesotans?
