IRC Channel: #MNFurs (irc.furnet.org) Howdy folks,
For those of you who live in a basement room without a window (or just simply live outside the Metro), we've been getting hit with quite the blizzard since last night. While I don't know the exact magnitude of the snowfall, just glancing out my front door is sign enough that I won't even be able to get out of my own driveway, and I'm sure a lot of people are having the same opinions at this point.
To quote the Weather Channel's online report:
Through 7pm: A steady snow will continue to fall through early evening. Cloudy and windy. Temperatures falling to the low teens. Winds N at 25 to 30 mph. Additional snowfall of 5 to 8 inches through 6:30pm.
Since I'm not the one who arranges for the Hopkins meet, I can't speak on their behalf on whether they're canceling or not. But I will say this: If you do not honestly believe you can traverse safely to the meet, it's best that you don't attempt to come. I really don't think some people can afford to risk life and limb just to see a couple people they can meet again later at the next meet. (Maybe not that extreme, but you can probably understand the concern.) At the same time, if you think you can make it, more power to you.
Either way, good luck with whatever you plan. And whatever you do, play it safe. There's always next meet.
Stay warm, people!

It's so bad down here in the South, I'm looking out my window right now and I think I'm staring at an avalaible apartment.
We're supposed to get from 8-16"
I'm hoping for the latter, and as far as visibility goes, I can't see my neighbor's house.
god that is gonna suck when shoveling
I picked the wrong year to trade in my 4x4 for a 4cyl car. >_<
