Snow DayFollow
Three inches of snow here in my corner of the south. I get to work from home. Anyone else affected by the snow?
Still have snow from, iirc a week, maybe 2? ago, when we got nearly 2 feet of it. Unless you mean new snow, then i don't know.

Yeah, there's a rather large snow front moving through the south. It's all anyone on the news can talk about.
I had a "fun" day trying to get home from New York on Friday due to 3 inches of snow. Turned a 3-4 hour airport/flight into 14 hours.

Ha! You people make me laugh with your 3 inches.
Over the weekend we got 40cm, which is 15.7 inches, and it's still snowing. I'm just getting ready to head to work.

No snow here yet but the panic about the cold is on! Got to love Central Texas!
Snow day here in Georgia! talked to the parents in TN, same issue. Only a few more months and I'll be in the great state of Mexico Texas.
It snowed about 3 or 4 inches in north Texas yesterday. My stepdaughter is excited about staying home from school. That's about it.

Only got about 2 inches here. Oak Ridge is a bit too far north since most of this stuff is in south TN. But they say there's another system heading our way so we may get more tonight and tomorrow. I would have been off today anyway, but with all this snow I'm pretty sure the golf course is closed, haha.
I've seen golfers with yellow/orange balls.... >.>

And yet, not one mention in a national newspaper. Expectations, etc.
We slowed down here a bit, but a little snow never stopped us. Bring it on!

40 cm would shut down most of Canada and 3 inches would shut down Vancouver for sure, and drop Calgary to a crawl.
3 inches? That'll slow traffic a little, nothing more. 40cm would be enough to close schools until the plows get around. Most businesses would still be open, but most people would be late for work. This is in southern Ontario, can't speak for the rest of Canada.
Rain combined with freezing temperatures has shut us down. Unexpected long weekends are good.
I've seen 2 cms shut down Vancouver. 10 cms causes Calgary to slow down. They'll tell you it doesn't but watch the roads and you'll see a drop off of about 80% of traffic.
Around here, 40 cm would likely close the airport and schools. Most non-essential governments offices would close. 50/50 chance of Metro Transit shutting down, most retailers would call off 30-50% of staff and most offices would tell people to work from home, if possible. That's pretty much a shutdown.

Here you'd just end up in 2 hours of traffic getting to work. We're pretty urban here though so snow removal gets going pretty quickly. Vancouver I could see having problems, they wouldn't be prepared for it.
St Louis recently cut back on snow removal teams pretty heavily. We're supposed to get 3-6 inches starting this evening, and if we do, I won't be working tomorrow. They no longer pre-treat the roads, and their new standard for "sufficiently cleared roads" is 2 tire ruts down each lane. Every street that isn't a main artery, as always, gets utterly ignored and becomes a sheet of glass after a day or so.
San Diego doesn't have snow days. We have rain days. My boss and I have both worked from home when the storms got pretty bad. Spoiled, I tell ya, I'm so spoiled.

Yeah, you can't see it too clearly but right before the wall is a 10' wide by 20' deep safety trench.

It's pretty balmy here. So nice not to require piles of layers and a giant coat.
Don't hate me, for I will be in a freezing hellscape soon enough.
