yeah, everyone around here is running around like their heads are on fire because of one of these alerts. I keep pointing out that we have yet to have one actually come through this season.

No offense but it's nice to see someone else get the snow for a change. Take cover, stay warm, and enjoy your time inside with family.

Doesn't work that way...I'm a teacher...we have no "Liberal Leave" policy...gotta go to work even when school is cancelled. During the last big blow, I got docked pay and a letter in my file because I didn't show up even when they went to "Stage III" snow emergency...no vehicles on road but emergency, fire and police.....

Dang, brother. Thats rough. Wife hates when school is closed...but only because they have to make up the days. She prefers the 2 hour delay.
