Who else is excited about tomorrow's snow?

Oh don't worry, schools will be closed on Monday (and maybe Tuesday too). No, not kidding.

They will reopen just in time to close for Christmas.

I really hope we get 18".

No thank you. People here can't even drive in 2 inches of snow.

Some people do have to go to work tomorrow.

I am b/c we invested in a top of the line generator when we first moved into our older, woodsy neighborhood.

Does the power usually go out when there's a lot of snow in this area?

Unfortunately, in our neighborhood when heavy snows cover the outside lines or knock trees down, yes . . .

sucks

Not excited at all. I hate snow - yuck, yuck, yuck. I just want it to go away. It will most certainly go ape if we lose power and I am trapped inside a freezing cold house all day.

That's just it. Snow is not enjoyable here because no one is in a rush to help like other parts of the country (NO, not the middle of nowhere); their attitude kills it.

Where people are happier and more inclined to help others, it's a blast! If you've never experienced it, you wouldn't know any better. But people get through bad weather in educated areas by being neighborly and kind. The snow gets cleared timely and properly; and those without power are tended to almost immediately, what a concept.

The funny thing is, we're here for jobs and no one is able to go to work when it snows. It's ridiculous that the place shuts down.

I'm from Pittsburgh, where the plows will have been revving their engines in wait hours before any snowfall occurs. Meticulous planning means that even in the heaviest snowfall, the steep hills of Pittsburgh are passable within hours. Not so much here! But as much as I like to make fun of DC for not knowing how to deal with its snow, I have to say I kind of like it. I like that, as an adult, I get to have a "snow day" every once in a while. I liked it, as a younger woman who nonetheless DID go in often on those snowdays, that we'd all be in the office in boots and flannel shirts (as if it might be snowing in our offices, too), beaming like the intrepid warriors we thought we were. I like that this is my son's first real snowfall, and I like that this year I was struggling, in my sleep deprived state, to find some Christmas spirit and that the snow was just the ticket.

I love this snow!!!!!!!

But to the poster whose party it may be ruining, I hope the plows do a thorough job.
