Snow is Here—Are You At Work?

Photograph by Digiart2001 on Flickr

With today's snow storm, the Schools Chancellor has canceled NYC public schools for the day, but it's not like the workforce can necessarily stop as well. Let us know if you're heading to work or if you're telecommuting... or just hanging out and enjoying the winter wonderland after you shovel.

Given today's snow fall, are you at work (or school)? ( surveys)

Snow is Here—Are You At Work?

Nope. Took a snow day and went sledding with the kids.

..annnnd just like the morning commute, the evening commute was just as bad on the D line.

That's why we stayed home today:)

How about that blizzard of 1732? That was a DOOZY.

1888 had a nippiness about it that was lacking in '63 or '94.

I'm not that old but I do remember 1816 "The year without a summer."

Made it to work without a problem. In fact, I'd say the trains were running better than normal because there weren't as many people riding today to hold things up.

I'm at work and was here right on time. What excuse do I have not to be here? All the trains were running and there's really not much snow outside.

I work in an office building of 500 people and about 1/3 of them are here. No balls.

I came into work extra early today since I was out sick last week. When my boss got here, she said, oh no! I was going to call you and tell you to stay home!

Oh, well. I'm here and the commute wasn't bad--plus I get to catch up on all the stuff leftover from last week.

Mondays I work at a client's office on Long Island, but they thoughtfully called me this morning to say most of them weren't coming in except a department that starts at 2 pm. So that's good for today, but it means I'll have to make the trip tomorrow and get there earlier than usual to get things done by deadline.

My company closes if NYC public schools close, so I slept in! I really needed it today, too!

Dirk

I work at home so, sigh... I am at work...

Our office is open, and about one in six people showed up. It took me two hours to get to midtown from Eastern Queens.

The guy at my company who decided that this wouldn't be a snow day stayed home. WTF???

Jen Chung

That's ridiculous!

Snoopy

Finally got out of bed and made it to my office which is about fifteen feet away. The trip went fine, no snow or wind to speak of.

Who here remembers the blizzard of'88? 1888 that is. Now that was a blizzard.
