It hasn't even started snowing here yet and our school system
already declared tomorrow a snow day As much as I'm
hopeful, it seems rather premature.

It's the Great Northeast Panic Attack II
I made the mistake of stopping at the grocery this morning for some lunch fixins. I've never seen it so mobbed for a 10am Sunday. I think they are freakin' out from the December storm where everyone was sent home at the same time, business and school. You'll have a great excuse for being MIA at work. Guess we'll have the roads to ourselves tomorrow, but I'm still waiting till Tuesday dawn patrol...

December was a bit different in that our big snowstorm started around 10am which was about 2 hours earlier than forecast, thus alot of people got stuck out on the roads.

If we get alot of snow tonight and it's comming down hard on monday morning, I think alot of people will stay home. I am thinking that my son's school will be closed and we live fairly high up for Eastern Connecticut with some steeper hilly roads that I would not want my child on a bus in the snow.

You are being sensible, but I think the 295 million non-snow lovers will become irrational. It's as if snow while precipitating has become a near-death experience.

In the defense of my Northern Connecticut breathern, it was snowing HARD on December 9th, with snowfall rates of 1-2" an hour by 1pm. The drive home was a bit hairy even for me and I have nearly 20 years of experience driving in the snow.

Wow, precip is falling in CT and Greg hasn't complained about sleet yet.

That alone means we're in for a good storm.
