'bout three inches so far, hard to tell because we shovelled. maybe 4. Swim meet cancelled. nobody thinks there will be school tomorrow.

monster · 02-09-2010, 10:07 PM

Wow! At 10pm no school tomorrow confirmed.....earliest call evah!

lumberjim · 02-09-2010, 11:23 PM

took me 2 hours to drive home at 35-40 mph. 2-3 inches on the ground so far...

bad news is that this is heavy, sticky snow....not fluffy stuff like the first blast

if we get 18 inches of this shit...shoveling is going to suck ass

My boss did a 4 minute dissertation on if there's a state of emergency... without an infraction... sick day... vacation day, but if there's no state of... make up on saturday... Delaware... New Jersey...yada yada yada.

I said, "I ain't comin'".

glatt · 02-10-2010, 06:55 AM

They gave us today off too, but said we would be open tomorrow no matter what. Just another way of saying we'll need to use vacation days if we stay home. Seems fair to me. We've had 3.5 days off in a row now.

RFN. Not so bad. We got our paper delivery.

Yay! Snow day! We'll be lucky to get 10" in, not part of the Anglo naming scheme, Susquehanna County. Upper right of the lj map.

Happy Monkey · 02-10-2010, 08:12 AM

I'm not going outside.

monster · 02-10-2010, 08:20 AM

OK all shovelled. Now waiting for the city snow plows to come and shove a foot high wall of ice up my drive.....

(sounds like a euphemism if there ever was one....)

I expect it to be ready for me when I get back from figure skating.

Wish me luck...... I'm going out now, I may be some time.......

Buggers did it before I even went out, had to dig out two tracks, now I'm back not looking forward to the rest of it

Jigna just called from Dunkin Donuts wishing to get home. Jim was able to get the Expedition out and rescue her, but now it's stuck at an odd angle in the driveways. No way our neighbors were getting out anyway.

My favorite part of my drive home last night was seeing that some idiot went off the road in exactly the same place as some idiot did during Friday night's storm. See, there's this itty bitty hill, that you don't even notice is a hill when it's dry, that becomes Satan's Sliding Board once it gets the tiniest bit of snow on it.

I, of course, wondered if it were the same idiot, or if they had imported a fresh one for the occasion.

Griff · 02-10-2010, 08:43 AM

I vote import. DOT spent the summer adding silly signage to my hill... many of which are quite flat now. The signs seem closer to the road than normal.

wow Happy Monkey. That's some storm.
