Man, this is no fun. Not fair at all!
Last time I took 4 hrs to go in on a Sat as somebody called out. I died a thousand deaths along de way.
I did spend de night.
This weekend I have to go in as colleague gone to Florida.
I am thinking, go in at crack of dawn tomorrow, like 9 am and come back home at noon; then sleep till sat 4 pm then go in. Roads should be clear by then?

I live on a cul de sac and the residents had to form a spade brigade this morning and dig a path out for the cars.

We haven't seen any snow plows yet.

How people coping?
Heard Baltimore city banned all traffic.
I have been holed up in a Hilton 1 mile from work since yesterday.
Today, they couldn't transport me back to the hotel as it was "too dangerous" until a driver bit de bullet.
Don't know if I will be able to make the one mile to work in morning.
Hotel ran out of food. I didn't do it alone!

Maryland Governor talking about shutting down the highway for 72 hours.
Will be watching de proceedings.
