A major event for the US East Coast?
Weather Journal: When Hurricane Meets Snowstorm
Meteorology geeks, what say you?Regardless of the exact landfall location on the East Coast, impacts will be felt from Florida to Maine. Nearly every single major weather model now shows the eventual “phasing,” or capture, of Hurricane Sandy by an intense polar airmass. The two primary medium-range forecast centers for the National Weather Service agree. The European ECMWF, generally considered one of the best weather models in the world, has shown this scenario consistently for the last five days.

Sandy will be hitting the mid-Atlantic a good week before the election, though.

Yeah, but the areas that will be most affected by Sandy -- the Northeast -- is mostly solidly blue already. Shouldn't have much of an impact on the election unless it really dampens turnout in Virginia and possibly Pennsylvania.

Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?
I'm looking forward to seeing how long PEPCO can leave us in the dark this time.

No announcement so far. Sounds like they're going to try to keep it open though.
