One or two inches of snow is ambiance. Eighteen inches is WAY over the top

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2006: You're ON THE LIST!!!
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2006? Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Try 36 inches which we had two years running a couple of years ago on the North Shore of MA. So far, Winter 2006 has been mild here; I'm hoping the the 2007 part will do likewise. If we have a winter storm comparable to the rain we got in May/June this year, we're gonna be up to our eyeballs again.

What is even happening?
This morning's news seemed to indicate that snowfall projection for Denver has been raised to 30". I hadn't had any coffee at the time though, so I might be wrong. I thought of Nicole, though.

Ann, that's a ferret.

OTOH, one or two inches is a nuisance. Eighteen inches is several days off work!

Not if it starts snowing Friday afternoon.
Signed,
Still bitter the two storms that dropped 36" were on the weekend.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Eighteen inches in Minnesota is one day off, I think. Maybe. But "if the interstate is cleared, you better be at work."
I haven't made the best employment choices.

Depends where you work. Some places, it's not an excuse for being 5 minutes late.

15 years later, and I'm still bitter that I had to take "unscheduled" time off, to leave work (a telephone customer service job for billing) during a hurricane, AFTER public transit had shut down.

I am glad that I got my SS out already, though. Hopefully it has arrived/will arrive soon. And my gift already got here from the west coast. I'm going to open it tonight. Yay!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yeah, I live where major snowfalls are rarer. But even as a kid (in the rural Midwest, so no public transportation of any kind), a foot of snow during the week usually meant a day or two off school. Because bus full of kids on rural roads, some of which are the last the plows get to? Not gonna happen.
We did get one day off school for only 4 inches. But that was because high wind blew it into drifts.
