Heh. NC isn't much better (I went to college in G'boro.) It was mostly ice storms while I was there (I thankfully missed the great blizzard of '96 on the east coast.)
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

Trust my rage
I would quit complaining if they would cancel class tomorrow.

Whoever wrote tonight's Alias was dead on.

I can't even.
You may all begin hating.... now.
Okay if some of us get a head start? In fact, I think we might form a club and meet in Troy this weekend ...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Nope. Really not. And the thing is, a few people are truly complete idiots about this stuff -- but most of them are normal, and get stuck anyway dealing with the minority of idiots plus the gummint's utter failure to buy so much as a bag of rock salt.
(Okay, the fact that it took the boy 4 hours to get home from work? Maybe just a leetle stressful, I'll admit. Really, I'm not usually such a bore about the weather.)

Since most students were living on campus, class was only unofficially cancelled when the prof failed to show. The ones in my department lived in walking distance. Hurricane Frances managed to cancel classes, what with no power and all. But that's the only official one I recall.

I'm watching Point Pleasant now. There are just so many ways that this is totally not Jersey.

The reviews calling Point Pleasant basically portentous and heavy-handed? So far - they are right. It's only half an hour old. Meh.
Plus, a spectacularly uncharismatic cast, despite the generic pretty.

I would cancel work if they would cancel class tomorrow. (Because, yes!! I have that power!!!)
(But not if they don't cancel class.)
(And they never do.)
