i'm gonna say it again - EVERYBODY STAY SAFE!!!
 
my coworker was in a car accident (slid through a red light at a cross-section and got hit in the passenger's side - nobody hurt thankfully) and my boss fell and broke his ankle in 3 places.
 
not to be sensationalist, but everybody be careful. at work we have a "your call/it's up to you" policy right now about attendance. i'ma stayin' home!!! ;)

yes we OFFICIALLY closed at 9 am today. only the supervisor and office manager made it in. they called all of us at home and said to stay put. i opened my front door this morning all geared up, only to be greeted by a 40 mph gust of wind and snow in the face. i could see maybe 2-3 feet maximum in front of me. i said "FFForget this! Back to bed!!" :D

o thanks so much. he's in really good spirits though; however, he admits he was a dingbat for choosing to walk the 11 blocks home rather than take the subway or a cab. :rolleyes:

Ok.. call me a wimp! I paid someone today to dig me out of this blizzard. I love the snow but i'm just tired and sore of digging out.

Husband is stuck in downtown DC working all week, so I had to shovel the driveway by myself. I managed to shovel half, then the blizzard covered it. so I shoveled the same half again. So I wake up and realize the wind blew everything back overnight, so I have to shovel for a 3rd time. I was anxious to get out this AM and get a snowblower. Now I have to gather strength just to shovel more. Aleve won't cut it anymore, I need something from Dr. House's medicine cabinet :rolleyes:

It's raining here in Sunny Florida...has been since last night.  There is supposed to be some snow fall in my area this afternoon.  I have only been in snow once...1989 when it snowed and I was at work (I was 17).  I went to NYC for NYE 97/98 and no snow.  :frown:  I just want to make a snow angel.  I suppose I could go to the beach soon and make a sand angel.  :cool:
 
We lived in Sicily from 2001 - 2004 and it snowed on top of Mt Etna.  That was a beautiful sight...snow with lava flowing through it.  
 
All of you that are experiencing the blizzards, please be safe!
"Every parent who has a child and they tuck him in at night, or her in at night, and they wish the best and only the best and they will always protect the child and do whatever they can, but most of the time they don't have to prove it. I'm in the proving grounds, to myself and to my child.  I have to get him home and I will do whatever I have to. I'll never stop to save him."  --David Goldman
