So I know that you all in Minnesota and the Central northern states are used to this kind of snow fall, but in Pittsburgh we get this maybe once every 15 years? Last time we had snow like this was 1993. The roads are still snow covered and being the weekend will probably remain this way until this week. No hope for a quick warm-up which is probably a good thing due to flooding fears. My wife got stuck in our Jetta on the way to work at the hospital this morning. You would think that the city would have the access roads to the only children's hospital in the tri-state region cleared. But no. Alas, she was an hour late to work. Staff members from the hospital helped get her free. The staff that worked starting friday night were there 36 hours until this morning when most of the daylight staff made it.
My dad told me once that the reason for the big parking lots up in the northern states was so the plow trucks had a place to put the snow. Hope everyone else in the Atlantic states are doing well. We also had power out for about 20 hours until last night. House went down to 48F.
