I think the city got about 6 inches, but don't quote me. There's a mass cleanup effort goin' on now, FINALLY (and LATE if i do say so myself)! You may be OK for the trip up here, but I dunno.
Screw all of you who got a SNOW DAY today. Once again, it's me and the boss, that's it! There are people who live CLOSER that "just couldn't make it". Cry me a fucking river. Excuse me. I'm gonna go hold the fort down.
That is all.
