Anyone from Mid-Atlantic states interested in sharing their snow storm stories?

As in how are you getting to and from work? Are you just sleeping over? I am always interested in hearing how people manage.

Got over 2 feet of the white stuff, a foot more than forecasted. My story's not too exciting. Traded in my hospital job for a M-F clinic nurse for the local health department. Downtown was cleared out at 4p on Friday. Today I was thankful that I don't do shift work anymore. If the buses aren't running, neither are we.

They're just now plowing my neighborhood.

I am scheduled for tomorrow night. 28 inches.

I should be okay after all the plowing. But, schools are already cancelled for Monday and Tuesday.

Two hospitals south of Pittsburgh, Jefferson Regional and Cannonsburg were on auxiliary power because of downed trees yesterday. They were not accepting any new patients but I bet they were still taking walk ins. I don't know if they got their power back today. Newscast in Pittsburgh on weekends are few and far between so I haven't heard. I myself am staying at a relatives because my power has been off for 48 hours.

I live close to work so I didn't think it would be a problem but I was late 15 minutes on Saturday, an hour on Sunday because I got caught in a snow drift on a back road and OH it's supposed to snow another 12 inches tomorrow afternoon and I'm due in at 7PM. The "command center" that dispatches rides is only open during "white outs" so I don't know when I'm going to sleep or if I'm going to walk to work or just drive in early.
