TOPIC HIJACK:

Husband is driving to New York from Illinois tomorrow, and driving home Tuesday morning.

With the Nor'easter coming in, how dead is he? Should I like, take out some extra life insurance or something? /s

Shop for a new husband on Sunday, when you go to pick up eggs, bread, and liquor.

 

[ag-my001]

Dang it, we were so close to not using all our snow days and ending the school year early.

Zelda is my only consolation.

 

[Count Dookkake]

At last, a real test for your GAF parkas.

 

[V-Faction]

Lousy Smarch weather.

I'm sure he's used to driving in snow being from the Midwest, and the Turnpikes between PA and IL generally know how to keep things clear (been a while since I drove it, I know IN is now privatized so.... yikes). The blizzard type-stuff won't extend very far west (Nor'Easters tend to hug the coast), so if he leaves even late Monday night (right when it's getting started, supposedly) and just grabs a hotel somewhere in PA (let's say, west of Harrisburg to be safe), he should avoid getting stuck in anything blizzard-like.

Just, you know... regular old snow... in the twisting roads in the mountains... yeah, maybe get some extra insurance.

..We are from New Mexico.

There is TOTALLY going to be a run on husbands by then, I might pick up one tonight.

12 to 18 inches! I guess that means a lot of Switch and PS4 and Xbox One catch-up time the way they could just give up on subway service these days. Eek.

For New York metro mass transit riders, see also the MTA Winter Weather Travel Guide. Subway service can be modified after a forecast of at least 5 inches and can be suspended after accumulation of 8 inches. Commuter rail can be suspended after forecasts of 8 inches (Metro-North) or accumulation of 10 inches (Long Island Rail Road). Buses? youarealreadydead.jpg

Oh, that's... not good. Yeah, the sooner he can leave the better, but there's going to be snow the whole way he'll be driving, just... not as much. The blizzard stuff will still be mostly along the east coast, which is the stuff he wants to avoid.

Added to OP.

 

[Strimei]

Fingers crossed that work on Tuesday gets canceled~

This has been such a lame winter, I need at least SOME damn snow.

 

[Volimar]

I'm in Ohio. My kid has had zero snow days this year.

 

[Arc]

Looks like I'll be up all Monday night playing Horizon

 

[VeryGooster]

Bout to get some Horizon and Zelda in if that's the case.

 

[mmazurkiewicz]

[Pyrokai]

I'm in Boston right now and have been all week for a trip to PAX! Good timing on when I'm leaving, which is tomorrow ha ha

 

[fluffydelusions]

Trump: "CLIMATE CHANGE A MYTH. TREMENDOUS SNOW STORM COMING. HUGE!"

 

[The Last Wizard]

Lol how can you be tired of something that has barely been around this winter?

Dude the wind has been around on the coldest days, makes it even colder. I'm just ready for some permanent warm weather😩

 

[Tuber]

Minneapolis here.

Can we just get one inch of snow up here this year? Please?

Spoiler

I hope this doesn't count as a form of port begging

 

[Turbowaffles]

Fucking BRING. IT. ON.

I hope we get all 18 inches!

Spoiler

That's what she said.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

Can work from home. Might just fuck off and not work and play horizon all day.

 

[Malleymal]

I have off on Friday also so this will be perfect ....

Bring it on!

 

[ATF487]

Snow had a lot more appeal when I didn't live in a big city.

Do you have a car too?

I'd be fine with snow in the city if I didn't need to deal with parking bans and shoveling my car out.

 

[Lagamorph]

Well, this could put a damper on a weekend in New York. Looking to fly out at 11pm Monday night as well....

 

[Captain Tuttle]

Hearing a good amount. Already planning on taking off work Tuesday.

I finally get a chance to use my new goddamned snow blower

Good luck and god speed.

CUNY schools better be closed on Tuesday. Going to be playing Zelda all day if classes are cancelled.

 

[newdayrocks]

Visiting NYC from yesterday until Tuesday morning. I mean, I wouldn't hate another day or two in NYC...

 

[GK86]

Good one. Knowing them, they will keep the schools open and "wait and see" before cancelling classes.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

I thought it would be the other way around unless you still need to drive and shovel....

 

[Mesoian]

Sounds like in gonna get caught up in zelda.

 

[Malo]

This is true

 

[Kyrios]

Looks like I'm taking a sick day Tuesday!

Shoveling, movies, and video games.

 

[gcubed]

BUT WHAT ABOUT PHILLY

Everything is closed and we will get 1-3 inches

 

[xkramz]

still no update from nyc mta

 

[Marquis]

Worst timing possible seeing as how I just started spring break.

 

[BennyBlanco]

I'm always hyped for a snow day, then I remember I'll probably have to trek it to my parents house and dig them out before my hard headed late 60s dad with a bad ticker wakes up and does it himself.

 

[XGRaViSmOrSX]

No summer cars for another month...boooo!!

 

[MsKrisp]

Just stocked up on snacks and good food to cook, come bury me!

Spoiler

They're calling for 10-12" and that's an unusually high amount for us, I'm excited and scared

 

[old manatee]

Nice head, weather.

 

[tim.mbp]

I got a dentist appointment on Tuesday. Guessing the office will be closed.

 

[BronsonLee]

Everything is closed and we will get 1-3 inches

Digging it

 

[effzee]

Wife is expected to go into labor any minute now.

Hope it's before the storm hits.

 

[gryvan]

Thanks for snowing during Spring Break, you asshole storm.

it's not completely unheard of but not super common. But when they occur they can pack a punch... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Storm_of_the_Century

Nor'Easters bring the pain.
