Death Storm 2016 - Open Thread
I hear things are getting very dicey already in some parts of the state. What are you going to do to celebrate death storm? Drink? Possibly drink? Reports from all over the State would be helpful in order for everybody to decide when to start, well, drinking. I think those attendance estimates for the game tonight are going down by the minute.

North of 59 is supposed to get more than those of us south.

the house caves in. which would be bad.

Home schooled kids are so weird. Maybe snow days can be used to let them try socializing.
/s duh

We live in the same area. Much more snow now.

Who said it's supposed to turn to rain??? We're already getting updates that events are likely to be cancelled tonight and a good chance school is off tomorrow due to more and more snow, not rain???

Ah, OK. I see it now. Briefly jumping up to 34 and becoming rain, and then straight back to snow. Well THAT should make driving fun...

Thanks, Bill Murray from "Groundhog's Day"!!!

you will eat those words. I think this may be the rare case where a snow event was actually undersold.
February 24th, 2016 at 10:15 AM ^
Hitting your brakes on the freeway will cause traffic accidents. Don't do it. Let us white-knuckle-drivers use the left lane. Keep up with traffic or GTFO. I am serious people. Driving in the snow isn't brain surgery. Act like you been there before.
February 24th, 2016 at 10:18 AM ^
not disagree more. I believe it is people who drive no differently than they would on clear roads that cause most issues. I agree that people should not drive with their foot on the brake, but I find that is the GTFO of my way people that do the most damage, "truck dude" especially.
February 24th, 2016 at 10:41 AM ^
No way. It's driving 30 mph dude when everyone else is driving 40-55. Just because you can't drive in the snow doesn't mean we should all suffer.
February 24th, 2016 at 10:43 AM ^
it is truck dude.
February 24th, 2016 at 11:01 AM ^
but if everyone around you is going 30, don't go 55. Because as soon as one of the people going 30 causes you to hit the brakes you become the car spinning around, bouncing off people at 55 mph.

That's what actually drives me nuts is the lone guy going 25 mph in the center lane of a plowed highway. Get off the highway bro. You can drive 25 on the surface streets
February 24th, 2016 at 11:02 AM ^
And then you pass "Truck Dude" in the ditch several miles after he blew by you doing 75.
February 24th, 2016 at 11:08 AM ^
but truck dude will be all like "these damn people, NOT tailgating and weaving in and out of traffic!?! That is why I am in this ditch right now!"

Really? Be safe everyone!
February 24th, 2016 at 10:16 AM ^
Sitting in my office at the corner of State & Eisenhower and it's pretty ugly. Snow's already a few inches deep on the window ledge. Best of luck to anyone going to the game tonight!
February 24th, 2016 at 11:23 AM ^
It is always great to go to a game during a weather event. Most of the time, the weather isn't as bad as predicted. And you end up being able to get much better seats in the lower bowl.
February 24th, 2016 at 12:07 PM ^
Definitely. It's let up a bit, I'm toying with the idea of heading down.

Hair of the dog my friend.

Opiates. And a lot of water.
February 24th, 2016 at 11:39 AM ^
A couple adderall and a bottle of gatorade... and then more booze, of course.
February 24th, 2016 at 10:18 AM ^
pissed off that this mess didn't start 3 hours earlier. The roads were fine when I was on my way in, and now they're crap. So it'll take me 3x as long as usual to get home, when I could have just stayed there and worked without pants on.
Which I'll be doing tomorrow, even if the roads are clear by then.
February 24th, 2016 at 10:20 AM ^
won't be clear. I think that tomorrow you will see the closest thing to a state-wide shut down as is seen around these parts. And why do you wear pants at work?
February 24th, 2016 at 10:27 AM ^
Includes boxer briefs.
I hope you're right. I'd love a good blizzard. Take the kids sledding, make snowmen, etc.
February 24th, 2016 at 11:27 AM ^
DAMN YOU SNOW!
February 24th, 2016 at 10:20 AM ^
60 degrees a few days ago... gotta love the Mitten!!
February 24th, 2016 at 10:38 AM ^
That's been just about everywhere this winter. When that Jonas Brothers Blizzard came through Philadelphia/NJ we got 24-33 inches of snow in a day and a half ... two days later hgih 50's.

Ordering pizza today so I don't have to shovel my car during lunch.
February 24th, 2016 at 10:46 AM ^
Don't forget to tip the pizza delivery guy, despite of the fact that he is a staee grad.

February 24th, 2016 at 10:26 AM ^
are some districts that are flat out not calling off school this year. My son has not had a snow day, and while it has been a rather mild winter, there were some snow day candidates and he did not even sniff a day off. They were getting a little ridiculous with how often they were calling snow days, so I think there has been something of an over-correction this year.
February 24th, 2016 at 10:35 AM ^
February 24th, 2016 at 10:56 AM ^
Huron Valley? That always seemed my fate at Milford High - all my friends in other districts would be off and I would be in a snowbank or even worse, in class.
