Re: Rave - Weather!
The worst part for me was the visibility. The roads themselves weren't too bad. It was a white out around 9:00 am.

So you went home at 9am? The snow barely started here by that time.planet pujolsian wrote:The worst part for me was the visibility. The roads themselves weren't too bad. It was a white out around 9:00 am.
I went outside and there's 7-8 inches out there right now and its STILL coming down hard. I would guess I'll get 10 here by the time its done.
I just asked my manager if he could look into us leaving early. He said "not a chance, we're a communications company." WTF is your point!?!

Just allow some extra time and expect delays. The Poplar Street Bridge was the worst part of my commute.
In Earth City is still snowing really hard, I would guess we're in the 8 inch range by now. 8 inches in about 4 hours is quite a bit of snow.

I just went outside and measured it w/ a ruler. It was 7-8 inches depending on where I put the ruler.

I'm not exagerrating right now - there is at least a foot of snow in my yard. I'm not far from Earth City.

Yeah, but I'm just trying to get a gauge of how long 8 inches is. Isn't that about the size of my index finger?cardinalkarp wrote:I'm not arguing w/ you.

I'm not sure if you're being serious or not but I'll answer you anyway. 8 inches is about the size of your hand from your middle finger to the bottom of your palm (at least on my hand it is).RC21* wrote:Yeah, but I'm just trying to get a gauge of how long 8 inches is.
