Wmcmanus Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 You know it's bad when they call off a Duke vs. North Carolina basketball game. That's what people in that neck of the woods LIVE for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 They cancelled my school for today, though they did it pretty darn late. I feel bad for couple of my colleagues as I know they'd been already on the road to work when the closing notice went out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreadhead Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Home for the day with the kids. My wife is stuck in Florida until at least Friday night. I just pray we dig out fast enough that school is open tomorrow. I am pretty sure that the federal government will be open (my work) and I have one of the more important briefs of my life to deliver. Doing all the work and having someone else deliver it would be really disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanDragon Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Hope you can at least get a sitter, Chris. That sucks.My work called me within 30 seconds of my alarm going off for the "delayed opening" we had today. They called it off. An extra day to frolic in the snow! Or, perhaps, catch up on all the TV/napping/drinking I missed the past few weeks of moving.**BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreadhead Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) I sort of like it. Managed to get a first round of shoveling done when Daniel was taking a nap. I also called one of the kids teachers and she's willing to come tomorrow if needed so I may be able to present after all.

n_maher Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Good news Chris. I had a major meeting today get cancelled because of weather and I'm psyched. I was going to be covering for someone else and potentially asked about topics that I am only tangentially involved in all wrapped up in a politically charged atmosphere.

grawk Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I generally don't mind shoveling. This isn't my favorite tho. We're 1/4 done or so. I keep hoping for industrious youth in a pickup to come offer to do it, but our road still hasn't been plowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grand Enigma Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 This was from this morning... Still coming down pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 my estimate is we got between 12 and 18" depending on where on the hill you check, with drifts up to 36". And it's heavy dense snow. Shovelling the driveway takes 3 shovels full for every blade width of clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPI Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 We got 14.5 inches here. Easier to shovel this morning, now that it has rained all day the snow has gotten very heavy so all the procrastinators are paying for it around here.

Dreadhead Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 We got maybe 5 inches here. I don't know what work got though. We were on the ragged edge of the storm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I just performed minimal car-digging-out. Fortunately, there was not that much, the worst part was that I had to slog through icy-cold slush with every shovelful, to get the snow to someplace where it wouldn't inconvenience others. Fortunately, I had boots on, so didn't really get icy-cold slush in my shoes. But I still felt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
