shipps Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Times like these make me wonder why I still live in Chicago. Â A Big f*** you to all you warm weather dwellers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 My boss said I didn't have to be in until 11-12, when I'm usually in at 8:30. The "work" delay is kind of nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â It's just started snowing sideways down here FWIW. They were predictiing it would come at 1PM, not 10:30 according to my boss, so could be quite a lot of accumulation today.

lostfan Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) Whenever it snows here in MD, which is a couple of times a year, they kill me. It doesn't snow here as much as it does in Chicago or NYC, but they act like they've never seen it before and start flipping out just like I was talking about in my last post, except here there is no excuse because it isn't the south. They get a snow FORECAST and they close school for the day, wtf? And the afternoon or night before, the lines at grocery stores get long. roffles. The snow slowdown takes all of half a day, they act like it lasts a week. Edited December 19, 2008 by lostfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, at school in Ohio if it snowed an inch school was called off. We even had heated sidewalks and they still shut it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vandy125 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I'm one of the few people that drove into work today. Really was not all that bad, but the road conditions are still listed as "travel is not advisable". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern ohio is pretty mild, but literally as soon as an inch accumulated, everything shut down. We literally had ZERO plow trucks near school.
