<p>We had few people stay in a hotel last night to make sure we have coverage today. I have a feeling they will be staying over again tonight. I have just been informed that our firm’s remote access is at its capacity and some people are getting kicked off. I am keeping my fingers crossed that we won’t lose power.</p>
<p>Another Marylander. Snow plows in our county have stopped plowing. Too dangerous for them. Expecting 40-50 mph wind gusts. Stay safe, everyone.</p>
<p>Am thoroughly enjoying the snow day! </p>
<p>Cartera–I have a couple neices at JMU; sounds like they’ll never have class again!</p>
<p>Getting close to white-out here. Vehicles are disappearing in the driveway as the wind howls. I’ve watched every season one episode of Damages. The ice cream and beer are almost gone. Woe, woe.</p>
<p>Haha newmassdad. We have only had lighter snows where I am (4-9 each time), but a snow plow knocked over my mailbox so I won’t be seeing mail anytime soon!</p>
<p>I’m thinking of all you northeastern CC’ers… stay warm and safe!
(I had to cancel a business trip to DC.)</p>
<p>In my second-floor home office, the snow has blown up against the windows this morning and stuck, so I can’t see out. Help! We have serious cabin fever, and my H has a nasty chest cold. I laid awake last night thinking about how I would get him to the ER if it got worse (a friend recently landed in the hospital with pneumonia, so I’m paranoid). This morning he remembered that he had stockpiled a full course of antibiotics in the freezer, and we have Robitussin, so he’s all set.</p>
<p>As everyone else has said, this got old a while ago. It’s no fun.</p>
<p>Here in NoVA. Office is closed today. Snow continues to fall and with the wind blowing, it is nasty. And I usually don’t mind winter. S loves winter but even he is tired of this…</p>
<p>Wouldn’t mind a snowflake or two. Just enjoying my coffee on the back patio. Be safe everyone(& warm):)</p>
<p>Still waiting for the snow here in CT. Schools are all closed. It’s supposed to get very nasty, but the weather forecast keeps changing the TIME when that is going to happen. So far…just a few scattered flurries. Is this storm moving more slowly or is it moving in a different direction?</p>
<p>WaPo reports Gaithersburg has 11", though it’s hard to tell because the winds is throwing everything around. No plows – they have been pulled off the roads. P.O. has announced they’re not delivering. School system says they “hope” to open next Tuesday.</p>
<p>Baking shall resume today!</p>
<p>Here’s my sad little report:</p>
<p>I’ve discovered a “snow day” from work (my work happens to be at a school), is not nearly as much fun as when my kids were living home with me. This empty nest is really kind of boring when it’s just me (hubby’s at work - policemen don’t get snow days.) I have to say: I am missing my college kids more today than any other single day they’ve been gone. Oh well, back to cleaning the house.</p>
<p>In Southern NH, we have very light snow. No accumulation in the parking lot or on the cars. I think that our projections are one to four inches. I’m in the office and this storm looks like a snoozer up here. Looks like southeastern MA is going to get socked.</p>
<p>We have about 12 inches of new snow - on top of 2’ with drifts up to at least 4’. They are calling for 8-10" more before it ends. Wind gusts are scary. Our townhouses have flat roofs and I’m trying not to worry about that.</p>
<p>On a business trip to Philly. Came in on Sunday night … No problems whatsoever. Original flight back to Chicago was supposed to be on Tuesday night.</p>
<p>Monday night, United cancelled the Tuesday night flight and rebooked it to Wed morning. Not a problem - quickly got a hotel airport for Tuesday night, figuring that it was best to get out of the 'burbs and near the airport. Two hours later, they cancelled that flight and moved it to Wed PM. A few hours later, they cancelled that flight and moved it to Thurs PM.</p>
<p>I called USAir in the meantime on Tue afternoon and got booked onto a flight on Wed PM. They just cancelled that one and can’t get me out til Friday. So my United flight Thurs PM is the earliest chance I have.</p>
<p>It snowed all night, but it’s really just flurries now. I have two days at an airport hotel, in the same clothes. Woo-hoo! Never had this kind of delay before – a few hours, or maybe even an overnight, but never days.</p>
<p>In southwestern ct, it was sunny for a while, now its snowing fairly hard again.</p>
<p>D1 has interviews in NYC Thu and Fri. She wasn’t going to drive home until tonight, but we told her to come home last night instead. She has a very small car, so it was kind of nerve wrecking having her drive from upstate NY last night. The good thing is all four of us are home now. We are going to start a fire in the family room soon.</p>
<p>Pizzagirl - get a bottle of wine, order some junk food and watch some in-room movies. Send your clothes out to be dry cleaned, you don’t need any clothes in your hotel room, I am sure there is robe in your room.</p>
<p>pizzagirl - are you in Center City hotel? or near the airport. If in Center City, get to the Reading terminal market if it’s open before you leave town.</p>
<p>Wouldn’t mind seeing some snow in NYC – we only have 3-4 inches thus far which is barely sticking and switched over to sleet at one point. Appparently it’ll switch back but I have my doubts that we’re getting a foot of snow on the ground out of this… Not sure if it’s too warm for it to stick.</p>
<p>For those of you trying to get in/out of all the airports affected in the NYC area; many, many schools have a week off next week; flights have been booked for tomorrow/Friday for months…If you have been cancelled today, it will be extremely difficult to be re-booked before the weekend; just a heads up…</p>
<p>Friends were cancelled this morning out of Newark; they re-booked them for Sunday (the day they were supposed to come back…umm…not going at all)…</p>
