Office closed at 2:30 today on account of snow. Didn't learn it would until 1:45 -- if I'd known by 1 pm, I'd not have taken a lunch break. Home now, warmer.
Okay, you know where I live. Now, pretend you're walking there from the subway, only instead of stopping, keep going for 4 or so long blocks. This takes you under 2 bridges and to an industrial area, sort of -- basically, the middle of nowhere, in Maspeth, Queens. Well, nowhere unless you're a tombstone. Then, you've got lots of company.
So, a lot of people drive. Like, say, most of upper management, I suspect. But certainly enough that parking is an issue, and that, recently, the company wheedled a few parking spots out of the bank next door. Well, in so far as anything's next door here. There's like nothing there apart from us and the bank. Well, a UPS somewhere nearby, I'm told, maybe a sandwich shop if one goes a block or two. When we didn't have running water for a week, bank and sandwich shop let us use their bathrooms.
So, when it snows, and no one's quite sure how much it'll snow, drivers get kind of worried. And it sticks more in Queens than in Manhattan. Now, the snow was supposed to start around noon, but it was already coming down at 10:30, and sticking by noon.
