Wow — woke up to a few inches of snow overnight, but after 8am, it really started coming down hard.
Back with more shortly . . .

"Overall household indebtedness is up from $7 trillion to almost $10 trillion since 2000. On this sum, we estimate, the American consumer has an annual interest bill of more than $500 billion; a sum, by the way, that vastly exceeds his current income growth." —Kurt Richebacher
Knowing that the vote over the weekend in Greece was really a referendum on Euro membership, a majority of the Greek Parliament said yes to staying. European Finance Ministers meet again on Wednesday to solidify the 2nd bailout package for Greece at the same time hopefully a deal is consummated between Greece and its creditors this week. The Greek 14.5b euro bond that matures on March 20th is up by 2 pts. The optimism that all will be completed and contained AGAIN to Greece has yields lower in Portugal, Spain and Italy. The iTraxx Financial Index is also narrower by...

I’ve seen snowflakes the size of silver dollar pancakes out of my office windows this morning… Home early I think…

This is a first for the east coast – two back to back blizzards have never happened as far back as records have been kept. Here in Amish country we already have over 8″ on the ground (from THIS snowstorm) with another 8 – 20 inches expected before it’s all over. Last week’s storm dumped about 2 feet around here.

Cute pic of Bigfoot & Sasquatch … ever heard of a brush?

BR: They are both long haired dogs, and just came back from the groomer Saturday!
2 minutes in the snow and poof! Bad hair day !

Mere child’s play. We had over 40 inches fall in 24 hours, in December; then it snowed for two more days.

A ready explanation for our double dip recession!

HA! We topped new snow with an early morning earthquake!

I’ve got a friend who owns an old warehouse in Baltimore with a 1.5 acre flat roof on it. He doesn’t believe in insurance (“There’s no such thing as ‘insurance’! It’s all in the hands of Krishna. I’m saving $700 per month without it.”) Three days ago worried tenants started calling him to shovel 2′ of snow off the roof but he just laughed (“What, am i supposed to hire 1000 Coolies with shovels? Not gonna happen!”). I can’t wait to hear if he’s getting nervous yet with this new dump.

I guess it’s someone else’s turn. Up here in the Great White North we haven’t had anything significant since mid-December.

I normally hate cloying personal photos, but I could not help myself — I added about a dozen pooch photos —

Love the dog photos, Barry. Am a sucker for them. Mine LOVES to gleefully roll in the snow. She drops to the ground about every few seconds and just rolls around on her back for a while.

Yes, time to blame “the weather” for the coming double dip. Perfect timing.

As Joe Retail says, almost nothing up here in Montreal since the end of december, I see the lawns everywhere, not in healthy colors (grey, beige, vert-de-gris, brown, powdered with calcium salts).
Lots of sun for the last week.
In Gaspe (600 miles north-east of Montreal), my parents are not happy, almost no snow, warmer than here, they can’t use the skis…

The best irony is that they are shipping snow into Vancouver for the Olympics, where it is 45 degrees and raining.
WaPo says they can use the 14th St bridge for the half pipe snowboard venue.
On the bright side, the Federal government has been closed all week–now there’s a green shoot if ever there was one!

Hudson Valley area, a couple of inches so far. Back in the 70s the first thing we did during a good snow storm was pick up a friend, head to the liquor store for wine, ( yes the only place to buy wine then) and then head out to all the back dirt roads and just slip and slide all day long. A few years later, a little more responsible , a two year old with me, heading home from store I hit a whiteout 1/8 mile from house. Total white, no road , no sides of road only white. Somewhere to my right is the pond, my driveway, and then my yard. I drive real slow ,make a judgment call and turn a hard right and crash through snow and stop on ground not in water. In the distance I can now make out the brick house. Carry my kid inside and then the whiteout is gone. My car sat planted in the middle of the front lawn about twenty feet past the driveway. Kind of how I feel about everything going on in the world now. Some of us are in the pond, some are sitting pretty in their blacktop driveway and the rest of us are happy to have made it to the lawn. By the way, even in my fifties, I still wait til there is a good 6 inches of snow on the roads and then I go for a ride, ( no wine anymore).

Here in Dc we’ve had 4 snowstorms in the last ten days and we’ve been shut in by bad weather for 4 of the last 4 weekends. If anyone tells you retail sales are up m/m or y/y they are lying to you. No one has been able to get out of the house for almost a month

Rare “Icicle” daily candle stick forming up on low volume, and overbought SLOITC.
A rejection here at MA(10) would not be healthy.
When this dagger falls, it could be ominous IMO.
