I'm dreading it. I have to go grocery shopping today. There will surly be a snow day Tuesday and h will work from home. Idk whay I'll do about childcare. I'm an 'essential employee' because surely someone would die without physical therapy!! I'll probably end up staying home Tuesday. Ugh.
They're predicting up to 2 ft of snow where we live. H is supposed to be traveling from here (Boston) to NYC tomorrow, returning late at night. I am trying to convince him not to go. There's almost no way he will be able to get back until Wednesday.
Ugh. I have a 9 am meeting with a senior VP on Tuesday. I hope they postpone it. I'm not much of s pre-storm grocery shopper since we've lost power for days twice. I'll turn the heat up to tropical levels just in case Monday night.

My parents (who are divorced but apparently of the same mindset) for some reason think we moved from the tropics (Boston) to the Great White North (Chicago). My mom asked if we had a winter coat for K. LOL. It doesn't matter how often I tell them we are used to the winter being cold and that Boston gets more snow. They are still convinced we left behind palm trees for igloos.
So I'm feeling a strange mixture of smugness, envy, and relief that we won't be getting two feet of snow tomorrow and Tuesday. Stay warm and safe, guys.

I'm dreading it. Mostly because I know the mayor in NYC will not close elementary schools, so I'll be stuck with like 3 kids, or the kids from all the other teachers who can't make it in. I live too close to justify not going in.
The local weather on TV is really downplaying the storm. They are not talking about the "reasonable worst case scenario" which the NWS (who is VERY conservative) has officially posted. I am a weather junkie so I follow several meteorologists online who are so much better than the TV ones. They talk about all possibilities and update with each model run. They don't hype things up but they certainly aren't worried about being a bust so they keep everything on the table.
Eastern PA Weather Authority and Weather NJ on FB are the best, IMO. On Twitter Marc Franz Jr (he works for Weather NJ) is the best.Â
I follow Eastern Pa Weather on FB. They definitely seem most reliable.
We are right on the edge of NEPA/Central PA so I think we are only in the 4-8" range. But they also said we were only supposed to get an inch yesterday and we definitely got closer to 4-5. I'm thinking no school tomorrow which sucks because I'm at a training Wednesday and there is stuff I wanted to cover beforehand.
Daycare closes if the wind blows too hard, so I am positive H or I will be home at least on Tuesday. I am hoping, if we are actually going to get 6-10 inches on Tuesday, work will close and I won't have to use PTO, but I am doubtful.
I hate him and Sheena Parveen. I won't even watch 10 because of them. I prefer 6 even though they tend to be smug and never own up to blowing a forecast (like this past weekend). But I admire Cecily and love, love Adam Joseph so I forgive them. Sometimes. Def. don't listen to their forecasts though.

I love Adam Joseph too!
H watches Fox and I just can't even take any of them seriously.

Cecily is on my shit list ever since she called AJ a moron during the hurricane. And then Jim Gardner tried to lie and cover for her! DON'T LIE TO ME, JIM. It's like being lied to by Santa.

This is regents week for us, so we have no kids, thank god.

Do you guys follow AJ on FB or Twitter? I always assumed he was like, 28. He looks SO young and he was always hanging out with Cecily's family like an annoying younger brother. When I read he was 36/37 I was SHOCKED. Then when he went on paternity leave he let it all hang out. Stopped the tanning, the botox and the hair color. Don't get me wrong, he still looked adorable, but def. like a man in his late 30s. It made me wonder what magic I could do to myself with a little help
He is. That whole story made me love him so much more. Although I was amused when women were all devastated that he wasn't "available" after he came out. Come on now.

Hahaha, my sister was so mad about this, too. She lives in the same area as JG and runs into him from time to time - the last time, David Boreanez was with him (at Whole Foods), and she said she was still more excited to see JG again. She loves him.

I follow him on FB. I hadn't noticed about how much he "aged" once he went on paternity leave, but now that you mention it, I can see it.
I used to work at a bank, and one of the local anchors came in from time to time - Deanna something, I can't remember her last name right now - and I was always surprised by how much older she looked without allllllllll of the makeup. I'm still too lazy to do my own, though. lol

They are saying 1-2 ft here. Arguments about when it'll start. I'm thankful I went grocery shopping in the madness Friday. I'm going to make a job list to survive the togetherness with my family. First on the list will be to organize the linen closet. It is upstairs, they will be downstairs.
