OMG!!!!!!!!!!
IT'S ABOUT TO SNOW! MASS hysteria!
Get to the store we need bread, eggs, milk, water, batteries, shoot just go buy anything you can 
Make sure you get at least 34 loaves of bread. I hear it's going to be 12" an hour and the biggest storm of the century. Hey I heard it on tv so it must be true 
Make sure you leave early from work cuz otherwise you won't be able to get home. After all it's never snowed before in new england. ever.
Don't forget the immodium..this is the grump forum after all  |

Never mind the stores, the sign on I 95 warning of the upcoming storm had the traffic slowed to 40 MPH, luckily I live 5 miles from work... screw the food, I'll just get some beer..

This is the time of year that my son asks if we are going to get a snowblower.....
I just say "I don't need a Snowblower, I have you" |

My boss, who is a 30 year old female, just had to rush upstairs to a meeting in the town administrators office where she was told that an emergency now existed because of the impending natural disaster, see snow here, and the administrator had to tell all the department heads that everyone shoud go home by 1 p.m.
Imagine telling public employees to go home, the arguments were horrible my chief said.  But they are all leaving, much to thier dismay.

Did you know that the threat of a good storm makes people eat white colored food like there's no tomorrow? Little known fact. Look at all the bread and milk that gets sold just before. I don't know why I never picked up on this before. |

Me thinks this tread is loaded with sarcasm- hmmmm. All I know is that my frig' and cupboards are all stocked to the top. I even put out the sign: "THIS HOUSE IS PROTECTED BY SMITH & WESSON", so don't any of you free loaders come to my house looking for goodies!!!!   |

They let everyone out of work and school at the same time. Worcester is like a huge parking lot.

Coming home was ridiculous. People were stopping in the slow lane and getting out to brush off there cars on 290. I thought the plow drivers were just going to plow them over they were so pissed.

Stuff like this really shows ya how some can't drive. Got behind one person doing 15 MPH and would hit the brakes if someone got too close....She turned off at rt 14. Next, get behind a mercedes in Brockton who had it floored trying to get up a small hill. He came real close to swiping a pole. Then had a car pass me and 2 other vehicles on a small 2 lane rd. 
Finally got home 2 hrs later for a 40 minute drive and went out to start the snowblower. 8 pulls and nada......not a fart. Then noticed I had the key turned off  oke: turned the key to on and 1 pull VAROOM  |

Left at about 3:05 cleaned the truck off... I got no issues with my rig it's a raped ape in the snow. Got to the main road and sat in traffic for 1 hour to go 1/2 mile and I even went up some side streets. Finally turned around and came back to the shop to work for a few more hours. Ridiculous.

I know people that are still on the road from boston to randolph 5 hours after they left 
I went 1/2 mile this AM and that was it for me thankfully, I'd have gone nuts if I had to drive 128 today.
this snow is hard to keep up with, already shoveled twice
I hate snow |

I love goldens Karl, if I were not allergic we would have one.
Ya the snow is cool to look at in the woods, quiet too.
I got to spend some quality time with my daughter in the driveway, she was a big help, atleast one of my kids is a hard worker and does it without being asked.
Mac 3 AM ouch |
