I am, however, almost out of smokes and am contemplating walking a half-mile to the 7-11, fortified with a warm belly due to quite a few vodka cocktails. Too bad it's too cold for a Slurpee!!!

Marissa- those pictures were pretty. Snow is so much nicer to look at in pictures than when you're trudging through it with an ice scraper in your hand.

I'm right near O'Hare too

I drove in 3ft last year ok....(UNPLOWED, UP TO THE AXLE) I was scared but it turned out ok.......again, is it different in "dry" snow? I live in the mountains and I know I have a HUGE education to look forward to , but reading all your posts, Im not sure I WANT to!

YOU think that people know what a parking ban is, right? Wrong, the police are out there right now ticketing and towing cars. Stupid people!

Alrighty. It is now Sunday. My car is completely plowed in and the streets look very bad. I have to decide whether I am going to even attempt to get to work tonight. I think I should just stay home. We have a big football game in Philly today and the place I work will be busy. Ah, dilemas. What do you think Riss? Stay home. Or Risk life. BTW..everything is closed. The malls. The churches. The restaurants. 14 inches has paralyzed New Jersey.

Well, we are under a state of emergency and they really do want everyone off of the roads so I don't think it's worth it Kelly. I mean, it's STILL snowing and who knows when that's going to stop. Lovely day for an Eagles game

Hopefully work will be closed tomorrow because I am SO not driving up there.

WelshWitchPMD · #84 01-23-2005, 09:27 AM

I'll find out in 3 minutes if RI will be under a State of Emergency. I am going to say no, however.

The word from Lower Bucks County: I'm not goin' any-frickin'-where. My camera is acting stupid right now, but if I can get it working I'll post some pics.

WelshWitchPMD · #86 01-23-2005, 09:38 AM

BOY was I WRONG!! The Governor just declared a State of Emergency here in Rhode Island. He said no work for the state tomorrow which means NO WORK for me! I work for a financial institution and when the state doesn't have work we don't either.

You live in Mass right? Isn't there a State of Emergency there? I doubt that you will have any school tomorrow. The schools all in RI are closed along with most businesses.
