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?

It is in a state that can't handle it 
I'm come in and leave when it starts to actually snow.
I don't worry about 'me (w/ a 4x4 Tacoma with new tires)' on the road. I worry about 'you' (the yous who drive a Honda accord way over the speed-limit on bald tires) |

I'm more worried about the idiots with 4wd that think they can keep going fast than the people in the honda accords with crappy tires.
(for reference: audi a4 with nokian hakks. suck it.)
but both days are my days off so im going skiing.  |

My bad.
ps: slow the eff down.
Every single overturned SUV up in Maine at the ski resort I worked at was an out of state plate of some douche thinking 4wd is the magic "drive through anything" tool.
Best one was an Excursion with the rear axle RIPPED OFF that rolled 4 times. |

Already having some school districts (like my son's) announcing tomorrow is no school...
Just can't repeat last December's storm until we get a few storms that never were, and the constant see-saw battle between superintendents and weathermen will continue...

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.  |

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.  |

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 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.... |
