HOF44 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Ok, I gotta go find a snow blower somewhere!!! It's the only thing that's gonna stop all this. The minute I plunk down a grand for one it won't snow one more inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 This has officially surpassed the legendary 1995-1996 winter as the greatest ever in modern history for the mid atlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD_washingtonredskins Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I hope the Fed closes down tomorrow because it will almost certainly be out on Wednesday too. Nothing like a two-day week!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spjunkies Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I hope the Fed closes down tomorrow because it will almost certainly be out on Wednesday too. Nothing like a two-day week!! At this point it's looking like Friday is the only day the Fed will open, but I have a sneaky feeling they're going to do the 4 hour early thing again. If Metro is not operational again I might have to walk my ass to work and back home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins24 Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I hope the Fed closes down tomorrow because it will almost certainly be out on Wednesday too. Nothing like a two-day week!! I hope so too, but like if they opened today, I'm not going in anyway. If they do open tomorrow it may be a delayed opening. But then the storm is coming tomorrow afternoon...so an early dismissal. Doesn't really make sense to just open for two hours or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah...I'm at home either way. It just depends on where I charge my time and if I work or not. If they JUST opened Friday of this week, it would be funny because they dismissed early last Friday, would have 4 off days, be open this Friday, and then have a 3-day weekend.

TheLongshot Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I hope the Fed closes down tomorrow because it will almost certainly be out on Wednesday too. Nothing like a two-day week!! Not when it is using up all of your PTO. Sometimes it sucks being a contractor. They don't close for anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgundy Burner Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 We are looking at around 24 inches here - even the broadcasters in Philly are calling it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacase Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Sweet, if they close tomorrow I could end up having a 1 day work week if that. My AWS is friday which could be real interesting. Plus monday is a holiday...wow, this could be a great work week for me with no leave time spent! I still got 20+ hours comp time from a recent TDY to use too....
