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.
We shall drive like idiots, mob the grocery and hardware stores, and generally be bad citizens.
I hate the shovelling, but I hate the other people on the road worse.
I'm appalled to realize that I no longer flinch over 3 inches of snow. Except for the aforementioned idiots. I'm taken aback by how poorly the city responds.
And I grew up where below freezing and less than an inch meant no school.

Hey! Shrinkage is no laughing matter.
SNOW. I MEANT SNOW.
BWAH!

Well, sure. I am totally sympathetic to places not being able to deal with freakish weather. But in New York? Especially NYC? Feh. A friend and I were just laughing about the time we met for drinks in the middle of what actually was a huge storm -- but we had plans, and the trains were running, so it really wasn't a big deal.
See, I think even B'more should not freak over 3 inches and we have shitty transport. When I was in Prague, NOTHING shut it down. And it was (apparently) a bad winter, at least tempwise. First time I ever saw my hair freeze from breathing condensation.
The 4 ft? Well, I can see a shutdown for that.
Fuck, news is telling me the arrival hits closer to rush hour now. Damnit.
4 ft?
Wait. This is about snow.
Fuck, news is telling me the arrival hits closer to rush hour now.
That's just a pain in the ass. Any way to leave early? Or stay later without being harassed?
