too much snow to go to work?

[JgS]

There is about 5" of snow on the roads here and I haven't had a customer all day. I figured it would be slow, but not dead. I am just wondering how deep the snow has to be for you to decide to go back to bed, and not to open your doors for the day.

6 feet.....

If there is the slightest chance of a snowflake around here, schools are delayed, if not closed. And they announce it before anything falls. 5"? This town would be shut down for a week.


Today, it's around 70 degrees. Expecting storms tonight. The high Thursday is in the 30s, I think.

Our city is surrounded by white-out conditions everywhere right now... we have had awful weather since Halloween.

Around here, less then an inch.

That's just cause everyone flips out when the pavement isn't dry and starts driving 10mph everywhere.

Would be the perfect day to get a lot of **** done!

If I see the first flake I'm headin south!

I never have a snow day, maybe a delay, but that's why I have a 4x4.

Yeah unless were getting a foot an hour its a perfect day to go in and get caught up on stuff and mabey close early once everything is caught up.

The snow would have to have buried my house, making it impossible to leave.

Ice on the other hand... Slow I can do. Dangerous I won't. Luckily I now walk to work though, so even that doesn't really factor in anymore.

I guess you guys don't get many blizzards in New Mexico huh?

5 inches is a baby snowstorm here lol.....that's when you just flick the "4x4" switch and step on it.

Love getting snow....it's fun driving through that stuff!

Pretty much the same thing here.

We don't get much snow out here but I did't think anyone would care about 5 inches. Most people have 4x4s out here anyway. It's odd seeing the road so empty.

when schools and malls close, so do we. back in the late 1990's when the big ice storm hit the area, we got caught off guard and it was a nightmare getting us all home OK. no sense in risking our lives as it is just work and it will be there after the storm.

Honestly I have never had a snow day in my life. One day when I was in high school it was -44 Celsius with a windchill of -59 celsius and we went to school. Can't be outside and can't breathe the air cause it hurts the lungs, but we still had school.

If you don't have proper tires then it can be really dangerous. Snow is no big deal up here but i can see it wreaking havoc down south.

You walked up hill to and fro school about 4 miles each way, too..... huh ??

-44 Celsius with a windchill of -59 celsius

how cold is that?

 

[CP Signs]

Baz, the good thing for you guys,,,, snow tires are mandatory. On my side of the bridge they are not. So many still don't buy them.

It's 65 here in Chicago today and thunder storms, if and when it will snow this year would have to be alot of snow for me to be closed.

Besides doing donuts and just plain having fun in the snow, I'm glad when we get a lot of snow because it really does hurt the bug population.

It also keeps a lot of undesirables inside hibernating and our crimes go down in bad weather. ​
