davedlg 0 #1 December 20, 2006 I've got a feeling this is going to be a big one. It's really coming down hard out there. We're leaving work at noon. United airlines shut down all of their afternoon flights out of DIA. This is going to be a mess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sartre 0 #2 December 20, 2006 Yep. I'm actually spending the night at work so there's someone to help the nurses tonight and tomorrow. I'm sending all my therapists home and telling them not to worry about making it in tomorrow. WooHoo!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JSBIRD 1 #3 December 20, 2006 Yeah, I'm on the high plains east of COS and it's very bad out here. I drove to the Calhan Post Office this morning, and got there right before they closed.

Jewels 0 #7 December 20, 2006 QuoteYep. I'm actually spending the night at work so there's someone to help the nurses tonight and tomorrow. I'm sending all my therapists home and telling them not to worry about making it in tomorrow. WooHoo!!!! You're so good! You're gonna be tired tomorrow, though! We even "closed" the firm at noon, although I don't know if it really counts as "closed" when you're supposed to work from home. Wonder Man is stuck in Phoenix, but he's renting a car and trying to see how close he can get to home. Given that I-25 is closed to NM, I don't think it's looking good.TPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cornholio 0 #8 December 20, 2006 I'm assuming that this is not normal - this car appears to be going sideways down the street + it looks like it might have just come through that snow median. Ooops!

Leaving Colorado Springs at 7 am, everything looked fine, 3 hours and countless accidents later, got to the Denver Airport and conditions absolutely sucked. It looks like I get to stay in Colorado for 3 extra days. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jewels 0 #14 December 20, 2006 I should say so. If they can't figure out that today is a day to send people home, they are more clueless than I thought. They shouldn't risk letting their employees get out/get stuck in this. Says a lot about the corporate mentality. They just said that I-25 is now shut down statewide.TPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpeedRacer 1 #19 December 20, 2006 I've got a question: Why is the northern midwest & Canada hogging all the snow? I'm on the east coast (Maryland) and all we're going to get is some crappy rain on Friday & Saturday. You guys are hogging the cold front, keeping us from having a white Christmas!!

sartre 0 #20 December 20, 2006 To you guys and your snow days!! I just finished making 20 mats up for employees to sleep on tonight. Lucky for me, Mary lives literally across the street, so I get to crash over there. And shower. But she doesn't have a flat iron or a curling iron. Or a round brush. I pity those who will have to see me tomorrow au naturel, including sans makeup. On the other hand, getting ready for work will be a breeze!! Okay, off to help serve dinner to our residents. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites lawrocket 3 #21 December 21, 2006 Wow. The Eisenhower Tunnel Cam isn't even working. I did see this image, though. Looks like the poor SOB just got stuck in a drift. I've driven in those conditions - I remember my childhood before one of the sides opened taking Loveland Pass in the snow. And, those times when we passed through eastbound and were putting on chains once we got to the other side. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites livendive 8 #22 December 21, 2006 I don't understand the fuss. As long as that's just snow, it's not that difficult to drive in. In heavy snow, the lack of visibility slows me down more than a lack of traction. My truck handles quite well in it, and I can drive myself out of a ditch with snow a quarter of the way up the doors. Ice is a totally different story. Blues, Dave"I AM A PROFESSIONAL EXTREME ATHLETE!"

It's super yucky out. Fly it like you stole it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites lawrocket 3 #24 December 21, 2006 Driving through it can be a big problem if the conditions are bad - if it's slushy or uphill/downhill. And me - I like to stay out of the ditches. My wife is hotter than your wife.
