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.

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!?! :x

I'm just hoping that most people get to leave work early while I'm stuck here till my normal time.

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.
Eight inches is about the size of my index finger, right?
if you say so.

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

No, I went to the airport Hilton at 9:00, I came home at 12:30.

I'm not arguing w/ you. Its been snowing hard and steady for over 4 hours now.

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?

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).
