It just means there's a 50/50 chance of me going to work tomorrow.

The wife has to work tomorrow, which means I may opt to work from home tomorrow

Their hospital has already started the "make sure you get your ass to work on time if you have to work tomorrow"  which they have only done one other time since we lived here, and then the snow didn't really develop as the weather folks hoped......

I changed in the oil in the snowblower this weekend and then went out and picked up leaves.  I'm hoping I don't have to use the smowblower for a coulple of months (if at all).

we got practically nothing, south of Denver got hammered (so the news says)  kept waking up all night to see 2 FT of snow, now I am disappointed and tired!

We got about 6-8 inches and I took the day off.  The freeway was closed just south of my house and the schools were closed.

My wife only lets me take the day off when I get 10". 

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

So you've never taken the day off?

 

[NJmike PE]

My wife only lets me take the day off when I get 10". 

more importantly, why are you "getting" 10"...

 

[P-E]

Okay I lied.   Only 9". 

 

[Lumber Jim]

I think you might have an issue with your units...

 

[P-E]

I feel uncomfortable with other units.

we had our first snow/ice storm of the season yesterday.  ~1 in.+ snow followed by sleet/freezing rain.  It's pretty darn slippery out there.  Suposed to hit 45 on Thursday.  I did not bother trying to remove any from the driveway and sidewalk yet.

our neighbors RV is stuck in the mud after they parked it with the front tires in the drainage ditch...they broke a 9000lb tow cable trying to pull it out
