When I lived in florida I would have killed for snow. now its just annoying. At least I'll be able to sleep in tomorrow

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Seems like all above-ground transport is shut-down starting at 4am?

How does this effect lines like the L which has like two short above ground sections?

Looking at that link, this only refers to above ground subway lines and not buses?

 

[Mahonay]

I'd imagine it would probably just run from Myrtle/Wyckoff to 8th Ave.

But I won't be surprised if the MTA is completely shut down at some point tomorrow.

 

[davidwhangchoi]

i'm getting hungry for today and tomorrow. going to get wendy's spicy chicken meal to get ready for the storm.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Wow, there's a storm system coming from the Gulf of Mexico that's producing lightning, wonder if we will get thundersnow.

That's the storm that's about to hit us. The lightning is a sign of deep strengthening.

Buses will probably depend on road conditions. And will probably be limited service at some point.

 

[danthefan]

My girlfriend and her family were meant to be flying Dublin to JFK tomorrow morning, flight just got cancelled. Really shitty.

 

[smisk]

Maybe safer to just take the metro?

Spoiler

That might not be safer.

I commute west to Manassas, so not an option for me unfortunately. Though metro delays seem to be pretty bad whenever there's any kind of weather.

 

[Baskcm]

And here in merry old England we get the most boring weather in the world sigh

 

[AbortedWalrusFetus]

Bernie Rayno cannot save me from this suspense. He basically said he can't call it for Philly. It could either mix or not mix, and drastically effect the snowfall totals.

 

[King Mystery]

Welp. I was supposed to have a job interview with USPS at 9AM on Wednesday and the bus was my only means of getting out there. I'm betting they'll still be open because they had this gung-ho "The post office never closes!" mentality when I worked there last year.

 

[sajj316]

Dead center of this snowstorm .. northern new jersey. 18-24 for us.

 

[GiJoccin]

YASSSSS work closed for tomorrow unless the storm veers off and totally misses us (it won't)

 

[Nevasleep]

What do 24x7x365 places do in these conditions? Do people double shift, start early, or just work from home if they can?

 

[ollin]

State of emergency for NJ. Great chance work will be closed tomorrow now.

 

[Schmitty]

No above ground service for subways starting 4am according to Cuomo. Now I definitely can't go into work.

 

[tedrotheredro]

"our office will be open tomorrow unless we hear differently from our government agencies".

This fucking place.

I am along an above-ground subway, though. As long as that stays off, I have an excuse.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

This fucking place.

I think everyone will be along an above-ground subway tomorrow if harassed by work.

 

[backflip10019]

Just got the email about my office being closed tomorrow.

Still expected to work from home, but at least I don't have to leave the apartment.

 

[Kadey]

Last time they said this it was more sunny than Mercury.

 

[esms]

Looking at the min/max numbers on NWS are hilarious for Philly. Maybe we get half an inch, maybe we get 20 inches. What a joke.

Yeah, Bernie Rayno, the guy at Accuweather who's really good at calling these storms, says that a lot of the snowfall totals aren't taking mixing into account, which would bring the snowfall amounts lower. Philly, though, he thinks could end up all snow, moreso than NY or Boston. http://www.accuweather.com/en/video...e-on-the-way/f4bzi5yte6o0cnlleinxd2ssq527igk4

 

[andythinkpad]

Have to get to fucking work 7am tomorrow.

 

[thecouncil]

Philly tends to get about 2" in these types of week-long 18"+ hyped storms.

The last storm they closed schools for here was supposed to be 8" or more. The official total was less than a half inch.

[KSweeley]

A lot of lightning detected right near Florida and some lightning detected in Georgia.

 

[ph1l0z0ph3r]

The fuck MA call a state of emergency so I can avoid work tmrw.

 

[Kyrios]

Looks like there's gonna be a lot of mixing in central Jersey by 11am rolls along. Wonder if that means snowfall totals will be less than what they are forecasting here.

Accuweather, Weather Channel, and Weather Underground has my area at 8-12 and ABC 7 News says 12-24 so who fucking knows.

Southwestern-ish NJ. Bracing for impact. Shovel is ready, boots are ready. Will be working from home tomorrow, I'm sure. Unfortunately, I have actual work to do, unlike 90% of the time where I can just kinda phone it in. Will be taking breaks every couple of hours to stay on top of the shoveling.

 

[E92 M3]

Crossing my fingers for this to be big. Need at least one good snow storm per Winter.

Fuck this warm weather business.
