Hitch up your dog sleds.

I went to work last night. When I tried to come back home, it took me three hours to get to my back streets, and then my car became snowbound in the middle of my cross street. I may have to wait for the snowplows.

The biggest problem here is that the cities that saw this massive snow dump take place- generally don't- and that of course means that they don't have systems in place to get rid of the snow, because the budgetary expense involved just wouldn't be justified,and people just don't know how to act with all that snow. Montreal saw a 3 ft snowfall in late December: ALL major highways, and service roads were clear within 24 hrs in the city and suburbs. And no douchebag dared dump snow in the middle of the fucking street (who does that?)

Were there fatal accidents? You bet- people think that as soon as they throw some snow tires on they can barrel down the highway like it's mid-June. our local tow-jockies couldn't be happier.

The past two storms (Sandy, and now "Nemo") I have been so desensitized to the weather reports being historically over-hyped I went to work and then had trouble getting home. From now on, I am staying safe and calling out whenever a "superstorm" is predicted to hit, no matter how much hype it may be.

By the way, when did weather channels start naming storms after children's show characters? Way to traumatize a kid: "I remember when your gramma was killed by Nemo in the winter of 2013, and Elmo killed Uncle Ned in the Fall of 2014."

Is anyone still buried in snow? I have co-workers who live on the Eastern end of Long Island who are saying they STILL can't get their car out.

Send in Charlie Sheen and tell him it's snowing coke. The entire Northeast will be clear by sunup.

Well thank goodness it rained today so that 3 feet of snow we had has no been reduced to about a foot and a half of a compacted ice like material that has the same specific gravity as lead.

Roads are pretty much clear now although I'm still hearing shrieks of outrage when I'm backing the flatbed into a drive way and the deck clips a snow bank sending an avalanche into somebodies shoveled walk.

It's not quite Winter Storm Nemo, but Kansas City is currently in the throes of Winter Storm Q. We're supposed to get as much as 15 inches, which is basically the Ice Age in KC. Work is closed today, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was closed tomorrow as well.

Other Midwesterners out there, stay warm and safe.

Winter Storm "Q"?

Does it wear a stupid hat and just show up on the bridge uninvited?
