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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
six inches would and has shut nashville down completely.
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.

That's just a pain in the ass. Any way to leave early? Or stay later without being harassed?

Rush hour am. And I press hard to get to work at 9 am. More the issue with other people freaking out. Needless to say, if it is bad, I'm driving home in it. But, daytime storms seem to leave the roads a little better because of the more regular traffic.
Hard to work up umph for it when I'd take any excuse to bag the day. So tired of it. Someone want to hire me to be friendly?

Rush hour am.
Oh, right. Us not being in the same place, and weather taking time to travel and all.

I don't think there are people on this board with that kind of money.
