    I don’t recall at exactly what point, but eventually they closed all roads. Unless you were a first responder, it was illegal to drive.

    Just for $hits & giggles I call my company’s snow line Monday morning (yes, pre-internet days). The message basically said, “The office is open and although the roads are closed, associates are expected to make every effort to come in”. 
     

    yeah, right…FU! I went back to bed.

    I worked for a company like that where we had to call in. If they had enough  people show up we did a little something but never a full day but pay for the full day. If only two or three showed up, ate a little breakfast/donuts/coffee. Didn't work a minute, sent home and paid for the full day. Being a weenie I didn't mind traveling in the snow. I actually look forward to it and getting paid for a full day for doing nothing it was well worth it.

    Another bright full moon, cool and crisp.

    To this day i wonder if the 1996 game was to be played in Philly instead of Dallas would Rendell have declared an emergency and postponed the game.

    Inside, Rendell being a big Birds fan, he would have wanted the game to be played. But he probably would have been under so much pressure to postpone the game. Literally a life/death kinda storm and if someone died because of his decision to play the game it would have been a nightmare and ended his political career.

    I think we were under a state of emergency...

    I'm enjoying this "active" weather! Pretty windy here, and it's cloudy at the moment, but yeah the moon is super bright. So bright that it's heating the ground  and helping to mix down those strong winds, lol.

    2:15am, moon probably at it  brightest angle/ spot right now. Clear skies. I could have a football catch without any actual electric lights. The deer are probably a little perplexed. They usually come out of the woods overnight because it's dark but you can see them clear as day.

    Looks like most models have something off the coast early next week. The GFS is the only one that gets it cold enough for accumulating snow. At the very least it’s nice to have something to track again.

    I just like to see some flurries floating through the air to get the party started...

    61F already starting to get dark, 452 p.m.

    So, a bit less than average, but who knows?  lol

    It's a crap shot. I  like how they said Jan will be the coldest month along with the low sun angle all we need is some precip in the area. We've had some blow torch Januarys in the past so this will be refreshing if it happens...

    You're just full of good news this week.

    Sitting at the breakfast table on snowy mornings listening to KYW was like playing the Powerball for kids!

    We are at that age where people we watched/listened to when we were young are now 75- 80 plus age group so they will be dropping like flies in the coming days/months/years. (musicians, actors)

    If I find out about more dead people I will let you know. It should pick up during the holiday season...
