It's not snowing - you are just high and scratching your scalp.

terpkristin · 02-08-2010, 08:02 PM

Despite roads still being pretty crappy, I think Fairfax County gov will be open tomorrow, meaning I'll end up at work. C'est la vie. Meanwhile, check out this wicked cool snow pack melting on my deck:

Pumpy Tudors · 02-09-2010, 12:16 PM

I worked from home yesterday and spent about an hour digging snow and ice from around my car. I have to park on the street, so I figured that as long as I dug a couple of feet around my car, I'd be able to pull into the street in the morning and I'd be fine. Well, leave it to the Louisiana boy. I apparently did a horrible job with it because I had to spend another hour and a half this morning getting out. By the time I finally got out, it wasn't worth the 30-mile drive to work, so I'm working from home again. And now we've got another 6-14 inches of snow coming.

Glorious.

Maybe I can just die now.

Yeah, I saw it posted somewhere else, and I figured it would be appropriate for this thread.

Sorry you didn't get your Netflix.

Actually, I just checked and my video wasn't even time lapsed. It was snowing so hard back during that blizzard in '77 that it covered a real, live brown bear in just under 30 seconds.

Pffft! To George's video above. A dusting.

Kindest Regards,

Your friends in Buffalo and Syracuse

claphamsa · 02-09-2010, 01:16 PM

Toddzilla · 02-09-2010, 01:50 PM

snowlapse sounds too much like prolapse for my liking...

SirFozzie · 02-09-2010, 03:40 PM

And here comes round two.. this one will cause problems up here too.

claphamsa · 02-09-2010, 04:17 PM

nothign yet...... 4 hours late!

Logan · 02-09-2010, 04:40 PM

My NYC federal office has been shut down for tomorrow already.

molson · 02-09-2010, 05:00 PM

Looks like my flight tomorrow night to D.C. is cancelled. I don't think there's any way I can get there by Friday AM, where my girlfriend has a foreign service oral assessment scheduled. Hopefully they have some kind of backup plan for that.

Damn, I was excited to check out D.C. I've always been down on that city (even though I've only been there once), but after researching/preparing for this trip, I was pretty fired up. There's a lot going on there. It's like, the capital of the whole country or something.

I am going to take a guess that Arkansas doesn't exactly have a massive amount of snow removal equipment. I don't care where you live, 6 inches without any type of removal is quite a bit.

Fine, I can sort of give them a break, even if I think six inches of snow is baby stuff...but if you live even in the proximity of an area that gets snow you should have some kind of contingency plan..Your friendly neigborhood gub'mint blows through enough pork that they should have skimmed off the 11 fucking bucks to buy a snow fucking shovel at the local Home Depot !

molson · 02-09-2010, 05:52 PM

It looks like I'll only be able to get boozed up at home this weekend....ah well.....

I have to ask,

Was I the only one that read this post in a dirty way?

MrDNA · 02-09-2010, 10:09 PM

Schools closed already around Philly. I'm 31 and I might be MORE excited for a snowday than when I was a kid.

Ok. FOX Chicago is now calling it "Snowverkill".

Just don't ask how I know the snow was precisely 6 inches.

SirFozzie · 02-09-2010, 10:46 PM

Looks like we're going to get around a foot of snow here in MA where I am.

My pre-K daughter, upon hearing that school was cancelled tomorrow: "aww noo!"

I, on the other hand, am already drawing up plans for a Snowlarium addition onto the snowfort started during last week's storm.

lighthousekeeper · 02-10-2010, 09:20 AM

my work is closed today, but i'm hoping i can get more work done at home than i get done at work.

Yep. A foot. Heh...that's nothing.

I'm just lucky I work like...2 miles from home. Already in the office with the extreme weather gear ready to hike home later.

Kodos · 02-10-2010, 09:33 AM

12 inches. Not impressive!

claphamsa · 02-10-2010, 09:52 AM

im done with the snwo now thank you.... im actually ready to go back to work!

wade moore · 02-10-2010, 10:08 AM

Pretty Impressive - even for the '77 blizzardites.

D.C. Has 2nd Highest Snowfall of Any U.S. City This Season - DCist

(for those that don't want to click, DC has the 2nd highest snow total thus far this year. They have 63.5 inches - normally they have 13.4 at this point - Syracuse is #1 - 73.7 with normally 75.3 at this point. Oh, and Buffalo 61.3 with normally 68.5)

I can't imagine what the airline/travel companies' support staff goes through at times like this. The nice lady I talked to on the phone just now sounded like she was going to off herself.....but I got everything refunded.
