It is some sort of governmental excuse, and I quote, " The purpose of these systems is to ensure our State employees do not endanger themselves and needlessly travel to their work destination only to find the office is closed."

Bring on that wind baby.

Hey Scott, I would have thought they would have a better plan for you than that. I was out in it most of the day but didn't have to fight bad roads along with. Every thing takes 2 to 3 times longer than normal when you have this to contend with.

Hey Tammie, I could only amaging what kind of a mess that could be. Having all that freeze should be more fun than allowed by law.

My sister in Indiana has complained of rain with the foot of snow they have gotten. She says it is a mess. We have blowing snow here but tonight if the wind kicks it up a notch this will look like the surfice on the moon.

Have not made up my mind which is worse. Just used to this stuff I guess.
My son has missed school all week so far and fear he will not go tomorrow as well.

Good morning Pat my Nebraska neighbor. The snow is piling and wind is a blowing and even though we are up to 18 degree's you will still be left with frostbite with the wind chill. My son will miss his third day of school today. Chores shall be fun.

Below is a post I put in the General Non Automotive this morn telling of the fun to be had here. I have much to learn about this new system yet so just copied a permalink.
Its seems as though all the old ways are pretty much gone and the new system needs settling in a bit yet.

Hey Orin, great story!LOL! I too am still trying to figure out the ins and outs of the new system. Still a lot of bugs for them to work out, for instance, the "Join" link in my sig goes to a blank page. Super.

Hey Pat, Yes I noticed gliches but I figure for me I shall be patient. I know they changed a lot of stuff and figured from the get go that there would be problems.

That story was hard to put on this morning and after I noticed some mistakes (made before coffee in large amounts) I could not edit. The story runs as it does mistakes and all. I' am not perfect so I dont worry.

Good morning guys. Up to 23 here but the 51 mph gusts are not helping warm things up. No snow day either so I am plugging away at work now that I got a cup of coffee going. Bundle up out there, it is going to be nasty.
