My suggestion was only one of many alternatives. Another approach that
may people take is to look around, evaluate the unusual circumstances
in which they find themselves and plan accordingly.<br>
<br>
Earlier this month I happened to be in another town of 53,000+ when
they had the largest snow fall sense 1950. The town had 7 snowplows to
deal with 8" of snow. People dealt with it. Some street never got
plowed.<br>
<br>
It cost money, money taxpayers have to provide, to have snow removal
equipment available to handle conditions that happen only once ever 20,
50 years (or what ever this storm was). I seem to remember not that
many years ago a winter that I only had to sweep the snow off the walk.
No one (that I heard) was complaining that year about all the unused
equipment sitting around. They realized then that it was an unusual
situation/year, too.<br>
<br>
I hope you get to work safely and home again.<br>

<big>No but there is obviously a shortage of tolerance.<br>
<br>
I would suggest a good book. Curl up with a dog or a cat and relax. If
not a loving pet, then a blanket.<br>
