That's a question I have, too. Why milk? Wouldn't beer be better? :D

-9℉ now ... Going to a low of -12℉ and you could only see about the top 1/3 of the snow covered taxiway signs at O'Hare tonight.

And after a couple weeks with no milk or flying this is what becomes of FTB:

Yeah, he's got pink eye but look at the hair! I think his hair colorist went juuuuussst a little overboard!:eek:

The good thing is that they've cancelled school for tomorrow. The noon closings and subsequent outflow from town was what started the initial jams that kept the plows/sand/salt from getting out.. then everyone else left their offices.

What happened the other week was a complete anomaly. Typically snow storms hit overnight here, so school is cancelled the next day and work, too. That one was supposed to be relatively minor with only a couple inches, but everyone hit eject right around the same time when they realized it was sticking. They knew it was, just tried to put off cancelling anything.

If on any given day with perfectly good road conditions, everyone bailed out from work the way they did that day, you're looking at a 5 hour jam. Add in the icy conditions, and you'll have what we had no matter what. What's the solution? It doesn't matter what any politician tries to blame on another... pretreat the roads and cancel early. It only happens a couple of days a year here. Had they cancelled school and proactively done similar with work, tuesday would have come and gone with minimal activity in town and things would have crawled back to life on wednesday. Take the loss and try it again the next day.

No kidding. I'm going to put on my alcoholic hat and see if the liquor store is open on my drive home in the morning. :) Not doing anything the next couple days, so let's see if they came into work!

Section 12 G.10.

For line construction purposes you are required to have an 11 hour break in duty following a duty period that does not include an ocean crossing. Based on the info you posted, it appears you could do it back to back assuming it is not an ocean crossing.

Who do you call if you are unable to commute in for CQ.

What will be different this week is ice versus snow. Hilly Atlanta is covered with trees. Ice gets heavy, tree limbs break, power lines fall, no electricity --- for days. You have to be ready to live without power for a week. That's the difference from snow events.

So, hunker down, drink beer, stay humble.

While buying bread and milk, my neighbor reported the lady in the grocery line in back of him had industrial sized box of condoms. Storm could last nine months. Always be prepared.;)

PBS is 12 hrs between domestic check in to check out. I think it's in the gouge on the Deltanet
White slip/ SWTP is less.
