Our county sheriff refused too allow his deputies too enforce it. He wasn’t going too cause higher unemployment in his county. Employers hated that system....

We have had our fill of wet cold rains the last couple of winters.

Looking like our storm totals are a bit short. Those hours and hours or sleet have built a nice layer of ice under the snow though.

I was waffling about whether to go to work or not; Dustin's post made me get off my ass. Thanks for the peer pressure.
Threw my little snowblower in the truck and took it to work; the snow removal dude had plowed the lot but didn't get to the sidewalks yet, so that was a good thing to have.

My guess is that all the old people like me will show up for work and the youngin's will take the opportunity to be off.
The boss had told us yesterday to use our judgement, and that safety is the first priority, which is cool.
But old school pride/fear of ridicule can be a driving factor - I'll be dipped in dogshit before I candy-ass out and just take a day off.
If he can make it I can make it.

And fuck the weather people by-the-way, this ain't snowmageddon. Drama queen assholes....

So I stopped at McD's, said to the cashier "Look at you, you ain't no sissy, you made it to work!" And she replied "I didn't have a choice - my GM came and picked me up, because my car wouldn't have made it..." so dumbass me, I says "You're not a sissy, you're just oppressed!" She didn't smile at the joke. After I got my food I drove around the building and pulled up again and thanked her for being there so I could have my breakfast and that make her smile and laff. Gotta be careful, Covid is turning me into an asshole. (yeah, it's the Covid.)

View attachment 121223County plows teamed up. Never seen them have to do this. I've lived here 14 years. Might be only a one foot but 30mph wind made some badass drifts.
When I lived in Ohio our street department always did that while plowing during the snow emergency and parking ban. Made for quick work of the roads. Just sucked if you lived on a corner because your sidewalks got covered in snow from the road and the driveway entrance as well....
