So much SNOW!(sorry for caps, but it's true)

[Sir Martyn]

Ian -

Sir Brian and Sir Edward can confirm we got little more in the greater DC area - yet my girls were inexplicably out of school AGAIN for a third day today - while I had to go to work.   

Oh well, be thankful always for gainful employment, I suppose.  Still, one would be more fond if we were off to the lists...

I did manage a day off of work.  They only had essential personnel report in the greater Hampton Roads area since most of the secondary streets here were iced over.  I had to go in today on a two hour delay.  So I'm not complaining!

[Sir Edward]

Yeah, they closed our offices for two days. We were still on the hook to do work remotely, but often that becomes a sort of half-day for us. Usually the work load is diminished a bit just because it takes longer for people to communicate when they're not in the same building.

[Sir Brian]

Yeah the shut down the Shipyard on Tuesday and had a two hour delay on Wednesday but today was back to a full day of trying to keep everything on the waterfront heated enough so the pipes wouldn't freeze and getting the steel warm enough to paint. - Basically threw all our delivery schedules out of whack. Next week is going to be hell! 

[Sir Rodney]

They closed schools the Twin Cities again today.  Kids who live within 2 miles of their school are expected to walk, so -36 F wind-chill is just too cold.

[Sir Nate]

Tomorrow morning when I wake, it's supposed to be 5 or 4 degrees. Probably feel like -11 and god knows what the wind chill will be like.
But it's supposed to be in the thirtys next week.

Pffft, not only did I get no time off, it's so cold in the garage the lights won't come on half the time and I can barely stand 15-20 minutes of work before I feel like an icicle.

I am from Florida...it is weird to see my own breath in my car...while driving...and typing with my left hand is hard because of how cold it got...

When I was building my R2, one of the local R2 guys had weekly "build nights", and his garage would get pretty cold during the winter too. He had one of these "jet" like propane heaters, and it got warm in a jiffy!

[Sir James A]

I'll need to add spotlights too

[Thorsteinn]

So this is why we are going to steal ALL THE SNOW!!!

Muwhahahahahahahaha!

[Sir Douglas]

You don't have to steal it. I will gladly let you have it.

[Sir Nate]

Winter storm Yankee. When it's done with you west coasters you'll never have eaten so much cheesesteaks, egg bagels, and folded pizza. Don't forget all the delis. Mwahahahahahaha
