Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
There, see? You're lucky I'm NOT in charge of snow! I remember routinely going until the 28th as a kid.
I'm also against big snow on the weekend, because it costs municipalities so much more money. One year, it only ever snowed on the weekend, and Somerville used up its snow-removal budget by like January. OOps.
Why does weekend snow cost the municipality more?

OT for the plowers, I think.
Overtime.
I guess I've decided not to go in. t pouts
I could do it, but I feel icky.
That's it. I think Saturday is time and a half, but Sunday is double time.
Sympathies to Rio on car repair bill.
Sympathies to all north of DC on snow, cold, and wind. We're on the edge of things -- you could get around if you wanted to, but you probably (and I certainly) don't want to.
No wonder my street is getting plowed every hour.
Although snow at night isn't much better. Once when I was in grad school, I rode shotgun on a town plow one night (my ex was the dispatcher at the public works dept.). My job was basically to make sure the driver (a guy my ex later told me was nicknamed "Mumbles") didn';t fall asleep. I got paid quite a bit for that.

Har! I couldn't believe how early they plowed my parents' street over Christmas. My mother said that's one good thing from Curtatone.
