Winter storm Juno

JasonCSU · 01-26-2015, 01:46 PM

For those of you in the Northeast, how much snow have you guys received so far? I'm also kind of curious how your employers handle the storms with cities nearly being shut down due to the travel bans that will be in place. Are those of you with the ability to telecommute still expected to work from home, or is it a snow day for everyone?

Oh by the way, it's nearly 70 degrees here in Denver today.

M_Six · 01-26-2015, 02:48 PM

Working from home will be iffy if the power goes out as expected. Would not want to be in New England now. Nastiness.

M_Six · 01-26-2015, 02:57 PM

Can't believe the Denver weather. Freaky.

1" is more than enough to cripple the area.

1" here is roughly the equivalent of 6" somewhere in the NE.

This makes me happy I don't need to shovel my car out of 3' of snow every morning anymore.

JasonCSU · 01-26-2015, 03:28 PM

Another interesting thing is the French Toast Alert with everyone making runs on the grocery stores. Do people really not keep enough supplies on hand to last a few days at home?

I saw a pic of a couple shopping that had one cart full of bread and another full of Diet Coke. Like they're going to be snowed in for a month or something.

UncleWede · 01-26-2015, 03:59 PM

It's been cloudy all day here, and I heard reports of precipitation falling at the rate of about .015"/hour in some mountain areas south of me.

Yes, point zero 1 5 inches per hour

Makes you really think about what would happen to the United States if a nationwide shutdown for months actually did occur.

At least 90% of the country couldn't function in the woods if it meant survival.

Good, more food for me.

UncleWede · 01-26-2015, 04:05 PM

^ in the woods, or dead on the street?

kevinbahnz · 01-26-2015, 04:11 PM

I wouldn't survive, but my wife would. We're both from SE asia but i grew up here and she's only been here 10 years. lolz

Yeah, but woodsman intuition isn't something that happens over night, lol.

Did she live a more simple life back in Asia? Just curious since I've never been.

Yeah compared to me , we're night and day. I've seen her slit a ducks throat once and I almost fainted.

hahahahaha, I hate to laugh, but honestly...., it really could prove to be valuable in your life, due to unknowns at least.

It took me a long time to come to terms with...., eliminating animals...., but if it means life and death..., you'll grow pretty accustomed to it relatively quick.

I'm sorry but I know the "doomsday preppers" show is crazy. People who want to survive off goods. Should something TRULY happen, you should know how to fend for yourself in the woods, and if she can show you that...., that's a pretty important trade to pick up, in my opinion.

kevinbahnz · 01-26-2015, 04:47 PM

thats why i said she could survive and not me. lolz

I love this Colorado January weather!
It should be about 15F/-10F, but 70F+ is amazing!

No complaints here.

This time last year was absolutely frigid.

KingOfJericho · 01-27-2015, 11:01 AM

This ended up being the biggest forecasting flub in NYC history. My area was supposed to get 15-30" of snow and I got 4". What a dud.
