Our boss keeps reminding us of the epic failure storm last year where we were calling for 2 feet in Boston and we got 1". What was the date of that storm?

I don't remember the date but that storm was an absolute lock :)

Can someone correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the 09 SREF's QPF match up darn well with the 12z GFS in SNE? Esp if we consider it's very prone to be dry NW of a max like it is this time? Essentially they seem to line up well with the 12z GEFS?

lol - My boss made sure that I knew that we were expected to be at work tomorrow. It's funny how places don't want to give up that free day off no matter what the cost. Get here no matter if it's life or death minion! In all honesty my boss is pretty cool, but the president, above her loathes vacation, and holidays and stuff like this, so I could imagine the "minion" comment, if only in his head.

My last job in Hingham, MA., I remember the place closing once for snow. Same thing in D.C. - Blizzard of 96, office closed.

I suppose besides forcing YOU, the employee to take a vacation day instead of getting the freebie day, it alleviates their responsibility. Suppose the office were to call off work tomorrow, but the next storm they don't, and someone gets hurt coming in? Cue the lawyers, and legal issues. Kind of like the way the NFL shot themselves in the foot by postponing the Eagles game during the blizzard last month.

Makes me wonder how I ever lived in the Boston area for so long - lol. Avg speed from my house to Noho or Brattleboro is a cool 75 mph.

Haha nice..yeah I like Brattleboro nice town with a good scenic view. I actually stopped for food and gas in Greenfield on my way up to NH. Being an inexperienced driver from CT, the rotaries scared the hell out of me. :lol:

ohhh GC stands for God's country.

Man, in the 3 days I don't post I totally miss out on the creating of the abbreviations, first CoT then GC.

Nice to be fully up to date.

GC's been in full effect for a while, but what those living in the supposed God country area's is that God is actually a bit more fond of the Indian Casinos down here in Connecticut.

Pretty sure if the Gov. declares a state of emergency it's an automatic day off - tell that to your boss.

Next time go east of the rotary and check out downtown. It's actually a pretty cool little town that still isn't polluted by too many chain retailers etc.
