State of Emergency....

[Squirrel]

Anyone else expecting to be at work tomorrow? :(

[BigAls87Z28]

Rain, sleet, snow, I gotta be there.

[r0nin89]

No idea yet tbh. Both of my bosses are jerk asses when it comes to making a decision to tell us not to come in so I'm sure it'll be the normal ****. Call in around 8:30, ask what the hell is going on, be told yeah dont worry about coming in, and then find out tuesday that everyone came in except for me and miss out on a day of work....

[The Fixer]

Nope, I'm off until Jan 3. :)


If I was supposed to work tomorrow, it would be a snow day anyway and school would be closed.

[Savage_Messiah]

I cut a deal where I'd go in on Friday but have off tomm... win.

Honestly though what I can see from my windows is like 4 inches of snow, this state of emergency is ******** for where I am

The more south you go the worse it is. Its like 12inches on the ground right now, 30mph and sideways blizzard snow with bad gusts.

[MyFirstZ]

depends on what it looks like in the morning if i go in or not, we are expected to be there but my foreman knows i have a long commute unlike some guys who do ride there bike

[FlyingDutchman]

going in to shovel make some $$$ at 3am. gonna suck with this wind and 10in of snow.

[foff667]

Yeah I doubt my work will be cancelled :lol:

[Blackbirdws6]

Boss told me to not risk coming in. I will be digging out for the better part of the morning anyway. Gotta love technology and being able to work remotely.

[Slow-V6]

I have work if a Hospital calls in and wants me to fix there equipment.

[NJ Torque]

All depends what job we're talking about....

[qwikz28]

The roads around here are pretty bad. The wind makes it nearly impossible to see. I am glad they did it.

[Frosty]

Rain, sleet, snow, I gotta be there.

This.

[NJ346]

I'll probably go in to make some $ and my commute is only 2.3 miles. Thing is, I believe once it's a state of emergency your boss has the power to keep you at work since it's unsafe to travel

[V]

NJ makes me laugh, its just snow.

[Frosty]

It's all about liability, plus with plows and salt trucks going at full force do you really think they want the idiot drivers out there that think it's safe to drive in a foot and a half of snow?

[coolmanvette75]

almost 2 feet here in old bridge. the camaro is completely covered from wheels up to the roof.

Yep top of my girlfriends corollas doors here in brick. My cars got a 4 foot drift in front of it from parking next to the dumpster in my complex...

Once there is a state of emergency you are supposed to stay off the roads unless you are considered by the state to be essential personnel. They don't really care where you are when the state of emergency is declared, they just want you to stay there.

I am at work now, will likely be here until at least 2:00am, and my boss just informed me that he would rather me stay through the night thanks to the state of emergency. I am prolly gonna head home in a few hours though. Gotta take care of the kids if my wife has to go in to work.

Somehow im suppose to fly into newark 8am tuesday

[NJ Torque]

Somehow im suppose to fly into newark 8am tuesday


...you wanted that snow:rofl:

[BigAls87Z28]

I am going to make a prediction for how my day is going to go.

The store manager, who lives 45mins south of the store, will not be able to make it for a host of reasons.
It will be me and one of my drivers. I will get nagged by the 2 shops that are open to get parts to them faster. I will then tell them to please perform a sexual act to themselves, punch out, lock the doors, and head to my fathers to play xbox 360 with my little brother.

[LTb1ow]

I am going to sleep in, and enjoy not having a job to go to.

w00tz for winter break.

[V]

im sleeping tin too, but no snow here, just flurries, we had off tomorrow anyway

[NastyEllEssWon]

I laugh at your troubles.

Har har har:rofl:

[coolmanvette75]

the plow just came and the plow wake is over my neighbor's civic. lol

[V]

i have to walk on a bit of ice to get to my car, it sucks

[1972LT1]

I am currently at work. Route 295,73,& 130 are plowed but still very slick. Best speed on. 295 was@40 with 4 wheel. Dunkin Donuts was closed on 73,but the gas station are open. Wind is crazy. Watch out for the snowdrifts, they're 2 or 3 feet deep around corners and on and off ramps.

[maroman88]

im working now... til 7am, my blazers parked across from hq and i cant even see it thru the wind driven snow

[coolmanvette75]

you literally cant even tell that there are cars in my driveway anymore

maro is parked until further notice. the aveo has no problem, road was plowed once around 12 last night. the hummer has no problem with anything, drifts plow wakes, nothing can stop it:lol:

[Tru2Chevy]

Yea, I'm still at work from 4:00pm yesterday. No one coming in to relieve us due to the state of emergency, so I'll prolly be here until lunchtime at least.

I closed our data center yesteday at 2pm, only kept the key staff, sent the rest home. Going to reopen 2pm. It suck now that I'm salary, my crew is going to get allot of double time from this storm!

[WiMiMc]

the pharmacist told me not to come in so i just ordered some new video games =D

[Savage_Messiah]

i dont live on a plow street :evil:


:lol::lol::lol: what kind of a back ass town do you live in?!? not a plow street :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[JL8Jeff]

I'm at work. No thanks to the broken truck. I cleared the driveway this morning and dug out the car. The roads are pretty bad though, the drifting is hard to see until you run into it. I hope the winds die down some so they can clear the roads better. Getting home could get interesting.

[Tru2Chevy]

Did you take your brother's car to work? I heard the roads in Ewing weren't too bad this morning. My brother has been out for that past several hours plowing with one of his friends.

- Justin (still at work)

No, I have my mom's Dodge Intrepid. The drifting is pretty bad, I was scraping the bottom of the car half the way in. My road is in good condition, but it's a county road and they always plow it well. One of the storms last year was worse than this, but this wind and the drifting is going to cause problems.

[JW]

Yeah I doubt my work will be cancelled :lol:

Yea I am in your same boat!

JW :D

[Savage_Messiah]

Even if I didn't have off today, for the first time in the 4+ years I've been working there they're closed... damn

[greenformula92]

my street still hasn't been plowed :evil:

is that jeffs old ss????

[omarcamaro]

i work for nj transit they never close luckily i had today off but they called me to goin today i said no i allready have 16 hours off overtime

[spina74]

Pepboys never closes, i however had off today. Now yesterday we were open and every cheap bastard who needed tires or wipers came in. The store was still open during the huge storm earlier this year and didn't have the parking lot plowed so the workers who were only 2 wheel got their cars stuck in the entrance.

[BigAls87Z28]

I dont know if we were actually opened. I called all my accounts to find out what they were doing, and none of them were open.

[NJ Torque]

Apparently, we were open... all the on/off ramps to 287 had trucks stuck in em... so went back home.

[deadtrend1]

I went in this morning to move some vehicles around so we could get our lot plowed. Only one truck was plugged in so starting the rest of them was fun. Specially dragging the jumper box out cause some idiot left the power inverter running on one. Then came home and slept.

Driving home at midnight last night during the brunt of the storm, from Warminster, PA was interesting.

[ws6 jim]

is that jeffs old ss????

I thought the same thing

I had off today but I worked harder at home shoveling for my house, next door, and my driveway including 30 feet to where the plow stopped doing work.

[NJ Torque]

Yes, it is Jeffs old car.

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

there is a very large amount of snow outside my house. my back door wont open, the ion is pretty snowed in too....and i dont live on a plow street :evil:

Private road? How else would it not be a "plow street"?

[NastyEllEssWon]

because its not a main road for daily travel, too many cars parked on the street. it'd be a disaster if they tried to plow it.

[CamaroGirlie]

I closed my preschool today....maybe if I HAD gone to work I wouldn't have broken two toes....and I'm getting married in 4 days and now my foots swollen twice its size....good part being my foot was too swollen for boots, so Martin shoveled!

[MyFirstZ]

got called from my boss, told stay home today. Slept in till 11 cleaned te driveway till 1 saw the gf and had an amazing day off

[NJ Torque]

Grown up snow day!

[Savage_Messiah]

that's some back ass ****

[BigAls87Z28]

Direct from Neptune Townships website...

Approximately 20% of the Township's roads have been plowed since the end of the storm. (During the storm we had plowed more than 60% of the roads). We have been focused on health, safety and welfare issues (first aid calls, dialysis runs, fires, accidents, search and rescue, etc.)

[qwikz28]

Direct from Neptune Townships website...

Search and rescue? lol wut?

[BullittSVT]

Neptune Township is really the set for the film "The Day After Tomorrow".

I called out sick from work yesterday (there was still a state of emergency going on when I called) and my boss won't take the hint that either A. i'm lying about being sick and don't want to drive in because the roads are crap and my Camaro can't make it or B. he gave me the flu because he gave it to everyone else..

He still wants a doctors note?! Damn.. easier to play hookey at school then work
(i'm very healthy at the moment, I don't get sick often..)

[BigAls87Z28]

Search and rescue? lol wut?

There were several people trapped in cars on 18. Neptune said there were 120 cars abandoned in the town.

[LTb1ow]

Yea so as of like 7 ish, rt36 and rt35 were one lane **** shows, and none of the jug handles had been plowed at all.

Kinda embarrassing considering WLB has perfect streets.

I know that Ocean twp had to plow 35 because the state still has not showed up to do it. Hence the **** show.

I feel like we should go drifting tonight in the Cruze, whos down?

[HeadlessNorseman]
