And you guys (eastside) got it worse than us, so I can just imagine. I was hating it just going to the end of the driveway. I would NOT be standing out in that stuff for two hours. I admire your gumption. Next time....stay home! I did see on the news that almost 40 buses broke down/wrecked/etc., so perhaps yours was one of them.

Yeah, it is earie how queit it can get. We usually can hear the Airport noise and the general traffic sounds from I-84.....now it's just soooo quiet.....I just know the quiet is going to keep me awake

I kept standing out in it because I kept thinking "the moment I walk/crawl away will be the moment it finally comes". This thinking chained me to my spot as the human ice cube of Halsey St. for those two very long hours.

I am going to try not going to work the next time this happens.....but sometimes the guilt just eats me alive.

Gosh, remember when we were kids and inclement weather was something to be rejoiced?
