Working from home here in Bethesda, MD. Surprised how late it started but it's coming down pretty hard, I imagine by noon it will be crazy around here.

I grew up on the Eastern Shore, and I remember what snow does down there. Good luck, and call out. It's not nothing if roads are dangerous.

Work didn't close so I went in. Soon as I started driving I regretted my decision. Not enough people are even here to get anything done. We will no doubts close in a couple of hours. Its moments like this that I wish HR would let us work from home.

I feel like this is the first time it's not hitting Boston the hardest! Woo!
Although at this point, I would rather we just get a few inches and break the record.

IMO it still takes the cake for "shittiest winter on record".
Everyone and everything up here is irritable at this point. Just depressing.
...and I'm at work, because my boss is from Chicago, apparently.
Hopefully I can nip out early though.
I don't understand why telework isn't more popular, especially in the DC area where commutes are generally horrible. I can do motion graphics or edit from anywhere; we have fast internet, fast hard drives, and fast home computers (hell, my computer at home is better than the one I'm using at work). Nothing will replace an in-person critique or the speed of showing a client the newest renders, but it's amazing how most workplaces haven't caught up to reality.

Posting from my office like an idiot. All other financial institutions are closed and here we are.
My wife pulled over after the bay bridge called her boss and turned around. She had our daughter with her and is currently pregnant so she decided to rightfully throw in the towel.
Now we wait, and hopefully the CEO calls it before roads get too stupid.

I checked outside at 6 AM and called the work hotline; opening normally, just rain outside. Figure we dodged it.
Wake up at 7:30...DOUSED IN SNOW
Just waiting on the call for early work dismissal. It's coming down too fast and too hard to not call it a day.

Our campus is shut down (Woo no midterm this morning!), and at least our dining hall is still open. Wasn't aware BaltiGaf was a thing but glad to see you guys are out there.

NYC here. It's coming down hard and looks like there's an inch+ already sticking (after last night's rain gloriously washed some of the old dirty snow and ice away).
Fuck winter. I've fucking had it.

Feel bad for people who had to go in today, the roads are going to be awful getting home. I'm glad most places made the call to close based on the forecast even though it was just raining until 7 am.
It will be interesting to see how much snow we get, the forecasts have been really high but they're almost always wrong in March. When Justin Berk is saying it's not going to be bad then you know it's gonna disappoint, that guy is always at least two inches too high.
here's hoping Baltimore plows my road sometime today!

Visiting New York for the first time this next week. Will be there for about 5 days. I'm from Las Vegas and California weather, what should I expect? Heavy jackets and scarves, right? I'm completely new to this type of weather and I've only been twice anywhere where it was actively snowing.

It starts off pretty and novel then it just ruins everything. It fucks up travel, it makes walking around miserable (slush, huge icy puddles everywhere), filthy black and grey snow piles up. It just fucking sucks.
I shall have to take your word for it since we get jack shit here.

What a crappy day. Today is my b-day, supposed drive to Boston with some friends for PAX. Looks like that might not happen today.
I want to get my drink on already. Going to play it on the safe side so I can stay focus and help my friends out on the road just in case we do drive out.

Slacker....(I know him, its a joke).
As a state government employee I was happy to have an adult snow day, and even happier looking at the 7 day forecast..50??? Sunny??? HOLY HELL
Its coming down good in zip 08054 right now...my kids are home, that means no 'daddy video games'...and I'll have to play in the horrible white stuff with my daughter (5), my son (3) hates snow.

Western Maryland/Northern West Virginia here. It's coming down pretty hard. Visibility sucks and the roads are a hot mess. I'm at work. At least I didn't have to walk to the office though.
Don't forget gloves and a good pair of boots.
It's happening. Gross out but the subway is running. Hopefully it won't implode by the evening rush hour.
Really wanted to call out, but I'm saving my sick day for when FF Type-0 drops.
The delicious bar food is not worth it! Stay home.

Southeast Georgia guy. Partly cloudy 77 with a constant, strong breeze. Huge gusts are blowing through. This is what dreams are made of!

Ugh It's starting to come down hard now. Sigh. I really want some wings and beer.
Yup. In the past 10 minutes Annapolis has fallen to pieces. Can't wait to try the bridge, CHART shows one lane plowed, great.

NYC here - haven't looked out any windows since I went to work at 9... is it still snowing? how much we supposed to get?

So apparently a plane skidded off the runway at LaGuardia. No flights until 7PM
6-8 inches expected through 8PM. I'm a little over half way there here in Queens.
Southern CT here. School was cancelled, so I didn't have to go in to work.
Not massive amounts of accumulation based on what we've had before, but I've still got to put some work into shoveling. My roommates went to work so I have to shovel them back in myself... which is getting annoying at this point.
