| A weekend winter storm will target parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Heavy snow will overspread the Mid-Atlantic States Saturday and Saturday night including West Virginia, Virginia minus the Tidewater area, Maryland, Delaware, southern and eastern Pennsylvania and finally southeast New York. The heavy snow will shift from the Mid-Atlantic, through southeast New York, to southern New England, coastal New Hampshire and Down East Maine Saturday night and Sunday. The southern Mid-Atlantic, south of the Mason-Dixon Line, could pick up anywhere from 6 to 8 inches of snow with localized 12-inch amounts. The zone from Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Trenton, Newark-New York City, Hartford and Boston to the coast as well as coastal New Hampshire and Down East Maine could see anyway from 6 inches to over a foot of snow. Northwest of major Northeast Corridor Cities, snow amounts could rapidly decrease to almost nothing. The intensifying and increasingly windy storm will track from off the Mid-Atlantic Coast to south of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia late Saturday to late Sunday. As it does strengthen Saturday night and Sunday, increasingly strong northeast winds will batter the coastline from New Jersey to Long Island and coastal Massachusetts to coastal Maine. The strong winds along with snowfall rates that could reach 2 to 3 inches/hour could lead to blizzard conditions from New York City to southern and eastern New England Saturday night and Sunday. |

| #6 "I'm right in the path of the storm. Do I get a grant?" No, but you can get a sympathetic visit from French and Jordanian dignitaries if the school buses stay parked in the depot and it's a total disaster. |

| #2 Actually if the earth warms its evidence that you need to send me more money. If the earth cools its evidence that you need to send me more money. And if the earth stays the same its clear evidence that you need to send me more money.... |

| #1 I think that there is a serious misunderstanding about the role of science here. If the Earth warms, it is evidence of global warming. If the Earth cools, it is also evidence of global warming. I hope this clears things up. |
