December 1, 200619 yr QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Dec 1, 2006 -> 04:52 AM) Plenty of snow up here in the NW burbs Schools are cancelled out here in Harvard. There is a pretty decent amount on the ground. Just waiting for my wife to get home so I can battle the roads. Why couldn't this have waited about 24 hours? Damn nature.
December 1, 200619 yr I have a Chrysler 300 and it is totally not made to ride in snow.I dread my ride home from work.
December 1, 200619 yr QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Nov 30, 2006 -> 04:20 PM) Have a hunch this is going to "just miss us" only getting a few inches at the most. I think it is fair to say... you were very wrong. lol PS: I thought the same thing too.
December 1, 200619 yr Damn, it's 38 degrees here, after being in the 80s yesterday and I'm heading to Galveston where it will be even colder. I'd rather be heading south, but with all the Inaugural fun, I think I'll stay stateside for a while.
December 1, 200619 yr QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Dec 1, 2006 -> 08:26 AM) W00T!!! SNOW DAY FOR MARQUETTE!!!! WOOT!!! Wow you guys have snow days?
December 1, 200619 yr QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Dec 1, 2006 -> 01:30 PM) Wow you guys have snow days? Apparently so. I was sleeping about five minuts ago, and the kid next to me is blasting "Let it Snow". Figured something was up, and then the people running up and down our floor yelling "Snow Day!" sealed it. Check here: http://www.marquette.edu/. Beautiful. Can't remember the last time I had one of these.

December 1, 200619 yr I admit it. I paid Tom Skilling to give school kids false hope and dread for you old foogies.
December 1, 200619 yr QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Dec 1, 2006 -> 07:45 AM) I chose against work today. I had already taken today off for my daughter's parent/teacher conference, and I just got back inside from the first shoveling session of the day. What fun it is.....

What fun it is..... Screw that, I'm waiting until noon-ish. Then I am calling Larry and asking for his snowblower. He braved it and went to work. Seriously, I mainly stayed home due to not having anything to do there and also the wife worked 16 hours last night. I was running late for work due to waiting for her to get home. So, add these together: Crappy weather Nothing to do at work Kid home from school Wife worked 16 hours and needs sleep Issue 2 needs work Makes sense to stay home.

I had to shovel, though, because of the conference and because Larry lives too far away from me.

December 1, 200619 yr While it is very cold here today, at least all I'm shoveling is b.s. and sunshine
December 1, 200619 yr WTF we only have 5 inches as of now. Why is school closed?? Oh well, I'm not one to complain.
December 1, 200619 yr I flat-out refused to go to school this morning. I take a bus-train-bus route and get there in an hour and thirty. Took my own personal snowday instead.
December 1, 200619 yr QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Dec 1, 2006 -> 07:45 AM) I chose against work today. "working from home" for me
December 1, 200619 yr I officially have the worst car for snow ever. My car got stuck in the middle of the damn driveway had to have someone push me into my garage.
December 1, 200619 yr It's a little chilly here today, only a high of 69. In all seriousness though, I'll probably see at least one person bundled up in a scarf today.
December 1, 200619 yr QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 1, 2006 -> 09:36 AM) "working from home" for me Ditto. But, being a consultant, I suspect you always work from home on Fridays anyway.
December 1, 200619 yr My sister just called me to taunt me about having a snow day. (She's a special ed teacher.) We're supposed to get that storm tomorrow. But right now it's 65 and drizzly.
