(Foot's is put out by a bunch of high school kids who routinely trounce the professional weather forecasters in accuracy. They were calling this past snowstorm way in advance of the pros.)

I may end up home all week as well. I was supposed to drive up to Pittsburgh Saturday for the long weekend, but now I don't know if that's such a good idea.
Yes, I heard about Mr. Foot's class on one of the news broadcasts. Interesting that they pretty much "nailed it".
I'm at work now, but not after having to wait until the pavement in my driveway warmed up enough to get some traction. Even then, I had to gun it to get out almost smacking my neighbors truck that is parked right across from my driveway (
not amused at those butt-holes).
I suspect tomorrow will be a repeat, since everything will refreeze. I may take tomorrow off completely to prepare for the next round of snow.
I believe I saw Saturday had a chance also.
