Remember last year around this same time, when the state sent their employees home and then advised companies to do the same? Remember that 45 minute trip that took 4 hours?
Remember that you were stuck in traffic along with the plows that were supposed to have plowed the road you were both stuck on?

Do you think tomorrow will be a 1-year re-enactment of that same ordeal?

You know, comments like this really frost my ass. I work for the state, and earn every dime I'm paid. Not all of us are politcal hacks cruising along to retirement.

Shove your "hardworking"remarks. Eff you and the horse you rode in on.

Isn't that the truth TDF. I was in Roche Bros. last night and it was basically dead at 8pm. Tonite you would think they were giving the food away. There will be lines to get in the lot.

Just had a morning delivery of a special order size white storm door, and after waiting four weeks, fourteen fg/wood replacement windows. Was going to get a nice project done before Christmas, and storm door in before the storm.... Wrong.
Storm door was cranberry, and the windows were cream instead of white! WTF.... two different wholesalers delivering to the same project on the same day. And they both eff up. But I am the one who looks like the A hole to the client. (Not to mention not getting paid on the job before yearend.....) So much for the inside work, ie. replacing windows during the storm..... I am pissed.








Sorry for the rant. Enjoy the storm. It's New England.

i plan on Enjoying these Storms... immensely

i decided not to have to go outside during the sloppy
weather so today...ALL day, well from 11-6

i moved a nice dry Cord of wood inside the house
since it's all demo'd anyway...

i set up the ramps and kicked the pile in the garage's BUTT
and pulled my vehicle in there.

It should be fun when the wife pulls in to see if she puts it together
that the Vans in the Garage and the pile
is no longer there...ahh ha ha ha...

i'm sure i'll be quite sore tomorrow though -oh well
frig it...no more wet wood...wet wood is worthless

STORM

I have a long commute into the city, so I'm "working from home" which means I'll be checking email sporadically
oh P.S. wind is coming right out of the northeast, so I'll also prowl checking out the waves, maybe wet a line....

I'm waiting to hear from our furnace guy.......Crapped out last night, no heat, Hope he calls or it could be a long weekend.

Cranked up the pellet stove last night though and kept the house toasty....but I'm not a fan of cold showers (keep the comments to a minimum)

You could always take a snow bath

Or if worse comes to worst, heat up water, put it 2 or 3 liter soda bottles and "shower" with those. (I did that many years ago when I lost heat in an old apartment. Fortunately I had a heated waterbed at the time.)

Good luck!

Much ado about not very much. Its only snow. The biggest deal is some school districts, like East Brdigewater, were given the whole day off. Now parents have to make alternative sitting plans for the young ones. The rest of the schools have half-a-day. Geez, when they get out at 2 p.m. they might have two inches of snow on the ground, maybe none. Everybody stay safe later.
