It's looking more like 3 days off at this point.  I've got about 3 feet in my front yard (southerly winds and drifts).  The airport is shutdown.  I have to shovel a tunnel every 3 hours for the dog to go pee.

We only get a storm like this one every 10 years or so.  Fortunately I stood in the long lines to get in some grocieries Monday night, so we're all set.  I have a home work setup with my marvelous (<g>) Win2K laptop and the cable connection, so I can get done what I need to.  I imagine it will be a minimal staff on duty or shutdown today at work.  Just learned that the bus system has shutdown (all 12 buses they tried at 5AM got stuck).

At least the radio has a new topic to replace people grumbling about GWB!

Stay safe.
