Snow Day!

Doublebase · 02-14-2007, 09:29 AM

Who else took off today for the snow? Northeast peoples question.

My school originally had only a 2 hour delay but my professor e-mailed me with class cancellation thank god. I was supposed to have an exam. How much snow you getting in Philly? It's mostly straight ice here. The ground isn't even completely covered yet.

Yo, what school are you at in Boston?

**IainDaniel** · 02-14-2007, 09:40 AM

I commute to Bridgewater State. Making it even worse if I were to have to drive. Where do you go?

**IainDaniel** · 02-14-2007, 09:56 AM

How much snow did you guys get?

Goodfella9783 · 02-14-2007, 10:13 AM

Only a couple inches so far, but the ice is what is causing the cancellations. Supposedly western cities like Worcester and Springfield are expecting a foot.

KelJu · 02-14-2007, 10:14 AM

I have never had a snow day in my life.

**IainDaniel** · 02-14-2007, 10:17 AM

Ah the storm just is ending here this AM We got just about a foot. Tack on Temps about 5 F and feeling like -5 F with the windchill.

the nut · 02-14-2007, 10:30 AM

I just got back in my cruiser after directing traffic for three hors while UI put up a new pole. All this because some chinese lady decided that she would just scrape a patch of ice off her windshield the size of a softball. What a moron. But, I bet she could fix my computer if it crashed. It's like snow falls and people lose the ability to think straight.

You're supposed to be used to those temps.

All the local schools are closed here too. I was given permission to take a snow day but then found out the darling boyfriend sent me flowers to work so I came in to get them

Awwwww. We got dumped on here in the last 24 hours though..you guys are getting it now!

Snow days suck. Just means you have to work harder on your day off.

That is incorrect...For the most part, most never truly think straight. The snow just makes it more obvious.

I'd say 8 inches, it if drifted more in some areas. The sleet is what called the snowday I think. Packed snow/sleet on the roads.

Back home I got atleast I foot I hear, plus more coming down.

fufu · 02-14-2007, 12:20 PM

This is like the first big storm for western mass, and it isn't even that big.

I can remember years ago getting several 2 foot + storms.

Goodfella9783 · 02-14-2007, 02:03 PM

Have fun shovelin this shit. There's only about 4 or 5 inches and it feels like you're shoveling a foot because of all the ice and rain on top.

Come on fufu. You know you want to. Get the snowboard. Head for the nearest hill, build a kicker if you have to. You know you want to.
