...your car q.q
And it's STILL snowing/sleeting. This is bonker balls. Quite heavy too.

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
Shit, that's right outside your door. Hopefully your place has more exits lol.
Damn OPM only gave the capital area a 3-hour delay, though the weasel wording is "3-hour delay with option for telecommute" so i saw that on my computer at 6:30, shuffled back to my bed and slept until 10. Now i'll write a blog post for work today in between bouts of playing Zelda!

It's gross out in NYC, but there's not a ton of snow. Aboveground trains are still shut down, so I'm working from home.
yes, with the snow we're getting the next exit is out the second floor window. We used to do it all the time when we were young up here in the Poconos, but we haven't had snow like this in a long while. Plan B is jumping off the second floor porch
Over near Middletown, it's been a swirlling vortex of white outside my office window for the past 4 hours. Accumulation is about 8 inches or so, but the main problem is visibility is nearly zero.

Ugh I'm so pissed about OPM's call. Or I guess their call in conjunction with my office's protocol. I don't work for the fed, I work for a non-profit, but we follow OPM's judgement, except we don't have a telecommuting policy for some nonsense reason so I don't get to follow whatever telecommuting options they throw out there. So now I just trudged to my office at 11 to sit here and probably do nothing until 4:30. Wooo. I could have taken unscheduled leave I suppose, but I'd rather save my vacation days for something worthwhile, not "I didn't want to ride the bus for 2 miles and then walk another mile".
My office pretty much never closes... the last time might have been Hurricane Sandy. They didn't close during that blizzard earlier this year.
They finally close today, and it's mostly sleet. Although that's probably worse to drive on than snow, considering how much of it has come down.

Suburban MD/DC was kind of a bust. 3-4 inches and a few hours of freezing rain.
Thanks! This is my only answer to "What have you done for society?" I'm sure I started out as "the crazy guy with his tarps" in the neighborhood, but I've seen a couple of people pick up the habit.
I'll have to try this!
If it's a light powdery snow, I don't even have to use a shovel, I can just drag it away. And I don't have to shovel all the way to the ground, I can peel it back when I get down to a few inches. The driveway and cars stay dry and clean.
I can tie or weight them down if it's windy.
I'm in Wappingers but with some elevation. Approaching 2ft.

Been getting chewed out all day because all the airports in the northeast are embargoed sure to the storm, so we can move shit.
"you're not trying hard enough! "
Fuck you your dumb mother fuckers. It's a blizzard.

Must have 2 feet of snow here in central PA. Thank god I'm salaried and can work from home. Though I've been playing Horizon all day and not working.

It's been crazy cold here in New Orleans since midday Sunday, but I just assumed it was New Orleans crazy as hell weather. It was downright hot on Saturday.
what part? I'm from Bay Ridge
How much snow is out there? My friends are in Bushwick and I haven't been able to talk with them yet today.

Nothing makes me crave ice cream like a snow storm.
Where do you work? For an airline?

Seriously, screw Nor'Easters. It's the perfect recipe for "where can Mother Earth get water into your house"
Earlier Today
Now:
I told my girl to go by the car with a shovel for some perspective on the height right now. She's 5'2".
Still snowing. Hard.

It was worse at 5am driving my dad to the train station then it is now. Glad Long Island took a big miss so far. Been raining/mix for the past few hours. Hoping most of this shit melts away before I have to go out and shovel slush.

Storm came through my part of Ohio last night and dumped 3-4 inches. Now the lake effect snow machine has been activated and we're getting plenty of snow that way now.

Nice. I work in Bay Ridge. At the Fort Hamilton area. I live in Staten Island so im hoping we stay with power since most of our power lines are outside.

Why we've barely got anything today.

I spent an hour plotting my way home
Fucking google map kept telling me to take QM2 or QM20, I am pretty sure the express buses are not running.
After studying that subway storm map, I think I figure it out. I will take L, then R to Northern Blvd station, take the Q66 to Flushing.

Northern Delaware (Dela-where? About 30 minutes south of Philly), diddly squat. Everything ended up shifting north of us.
It was coming down pretty good around midnight;
But then it was all sleet by 2am when I went to bed. Woke up and we've still got about the same amount of snow, but everything got glazed by freezing rain;
This is only the third time this winter we've gotten snow, and the other two times didn't last a day. Even for the mid-Atlantic that's pretty shitty.

Shoveled the walks but it's pointless to dig out the car until the plow comes through. I had the dog out in it and his first move was to dive into the yard, instantly burying himself in snow 3 times his height. Then he just ran back and forth down the paths that have been dug out so far trying to stand on his back legs to see what's going on around him.

Storm was kind of a bust here in western central PA. We might have got 5-6" of fine, powdery snow.
