This weekend we might get a big snow storm. If we do it might be as much
as a foot (30cm) of snow.
Or, it might be less than an inch (2cm).

The weather forecasts are less than totally useful in this regard:

I have to admit, I love this line from the forecast:
“If that wasn’t enough, some or all of the largest cities in the Northeast
- Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston - could
be significantly impacted by this storm with heavy snow and strong winds,
bringing travel to a grinding halt, between Friday afternoon and Sunday
morning.”

Any forecast that starts with “If that wasn’t bad enough” is going to be
something. And, "Travel grinding to a halt" is more specific than normal...

All sorts of things for the weekend are cancelling now. My haircut has
already been pushed back a week. We’re thinking of cancelling sword
practice. (OK, only one other person was going to be able to make it this
Sunday anyhow, and we were considering cancelling before we heard about the
snow.)

Also, several airlines have gotten it into their head that my wife and I
like to fly places. While that is true, I think they over estimate about
financial ability to do so.

But, there are things that are tempting.
Right now airfare to Iceland is only $375 a person. That’s really low.

So, I suggested to my wife we fly to Iceland Friday night and back Sunday
after the storm has passed. We could keep our cars in the airport garage
so they wouldn’t need to be cleaned.
No, we can’t really afford that.
But, I like the idea of hiding from a snow storm in Iceland.

My wife has, very correctly, pointed out it is not worth $1000 to avoid
digging out our cars, even if we get the worst of the storm.

That’s very true. But, not as much fun.
