The Dames 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2003 I'm at work, but no one's really here. I wish I could leave, but I can't just yet. There's a lot of businesses closed here and major universities in the area are closed. What about where you guys live? You get the day off? Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Zack Malibu Report post Posted February 18, 2003 I got the day off from classes, which was good because I had an essay due and I've procrastinated too much this week. I'm here at work now, though...gotta love mail-order companies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2003 So you decided to put more hours at your job? Why didn't you just stay home and do your essay? Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Zack Malibu Report post Posted February 18, 2003 Well I got called in because one of the guys comes in from Taunton, MA, about 45 minutes away. I'm only a mile away from the offices, so they asked if I'd come in for a while this afternoon. I'll probably only be here until 4-5 the latest though. Just helping them catch up more or less. I could also start doing my essay work here too... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted February 18, 2003 The schools around here were closed yesteday because of the snow, but everything else is open. We didn't get nailed too hard, though. Only got like 5 or 6 inches, but the wind blew the shit everywhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted February 18, 2003 Nadda. Snow blew right under Michigan, which sucks cause I'm a mark for snow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DrTom Report post Posted February 18, 2003 I was off work today because the Army actually decided to close the installation. That happens VERY rarely, as I understand it, and I fully expect to go back to work tomorrow. Schools were closed, not so much because of the roads as the fact that the bus stops have been obliterated by snow, leaving the kids with no place to stand. Businesses are generally open, unless they were unfortunate enough to have their driveways blocked with mounds of plowed snow. We got a good two feet of HEAVY snow, and putting that much snow somewhere (when there was already snow piled up in places from the previous storm) is always a problem.

Guest RenegadeX28 Report post Posted February 19, 2003 Schools are closed in our area, possibly for the rest of the week. We had 2 ft. of snow here. In 1996, the same situation happened, and we had no school for a week. I don't care, since I already have the week off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted February 19, 2003 Wimps. I used have to walk 5 miles in a foot of snow every damn day during the winter. To top that off try a windchill of 20 below blowing right into your face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DrTom Report post Posted February 19, 2003 Vern, was it uphill both ways? And did you have to use old newspapers for your snow boots? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vern Gagne Report post Posted February 19, 2003 Hell Yes. That's the way it was and we liked it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
