As many in Central Maryland wake up to light snow or none in the air this morning, with only a few inches on the ground, it might be tempting to conclude - to wish - that this storm is over. Not so fast. The National Weather Service predicted a lull in the action during the night as one phase of the storm ended and the next cranked up. Many in the region were seeing that before dawn today. The snow had stopped, or continued with very fine, wet flakes. And that has prompted Sterling to reduce predicted storm totals for portions of the forecast area, especially to the south of Baltimore. But forecasters insist that the heaviest snow, colder temperatures and winds gusting as high as 50 mph are still on the way later this morning and early this afternoon. The Winter Storm Warnings still call for 10 to 20 inches by the time the thing winds down this afternoon. AccuWeather.com agrees: "Residents along the Interstate 95 corridor from Washington, D.C., to Boston may be able to get to work this morning. Traveling home, however, could prove impossible. Flight and mass transit delays and cancellations are sure to mount as heavy, wind-whipped snow dangerously drops visibility and clogs roads and runways. The weight of the snow will make shoveling strenuous for many people, and could cause more roof failures..." Indeed, the barometer was very low (29.32 in. on the WeatherDeck) and still falling at daybreak today. Ditto at The Sun's weather station at Calvert and Centre streets. Watch that barometer, and when it heads back up again, that's when we'll be on our way out of this thing. Forecasters at the Baltimore-Washington Forecast Office in Sterling have hoisted Blizzard Warnings (red on the map) for Baltimore, its suburban counties and the northern tier of Maryland counties from Allegany east to Cecil. Similar warnings are in effect this morning for the Upper Shore counties, all of Delaware, eastern Pennsylvania, most of New Jersey, New York City and Long Island. UPDATE 8 a.m.: The Blizzard Warnings have been expanded to Washington and its Md. and Va. suburbs. Here's a bit of this morning's forecast discussion: "THE TRUE DYNAMICS OF THIS SYSTEM WILL GEAR-UP IN THE COMING HOURS THIS MORNING...AS THE UPPER LOW SHOOTS SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE [FORECAST AREA] AND THE COASTAL LOW QUICKLY DEEPENS JUST OFF THE DELMARVA COAST.

Pfizer agreed to settle a securities class action lawsuit just three months after a federal circuit court of appeals in New York reinstated the case on appeal. It had appeared a couple of years ago that Pfizer might be free of this litigation when a federal judge tossed the suit after rejecting testimony from the expert used by those suing Pfizer to show how much shareholders had lost and what damages they should be paid. One of the lawyers originally representing Mary K. Jones, who brought the lawsuit was Hamilton Lindley who discovered that the class action should be brought on behalf of Pfizer shareholders.
