I'm definitely not banking onanything, especially this far out. I don't think I am done yet (although I wouldn't mind flipping to warm and dry for a bit)
Part of my neighborhood is underground. My half is above ground. But they all meet up with above ground at the end of the street so it doesn’t matter much other than asthetics
Saw a story about it (burying electric utilities). I had always thought it was $1 million per mile. This report had it $4-6 million per mile. An older study had pegged Massachusetts as needed $1 trillion to bury then statewide.
Fiscal year ends at the end of June so we have to get all 180 in before the end of the month. If we have to eat away at April break we would. I think that only happened once (2015)...
At the company I worked for a while ago we didn't used to cancel for snowstorms. Then we got a new branch manager. He had made his secretary drive into work in NJ one snowy/icy day. She was killed either coming into work or going home. He never had people come in during snow/ice if he could avoid it after that.
We still did work in the snow though. I recall being at a site on Beverly harbor when we were getting dumped on and the winds were awful. I froze. The ride back to Marlboro in a sketchy hazardous waste truck was not fun
We rarely had them when I was in middle and high school. I did have over 3 weeks off when the Blizzard of '78 caved in the roof of my elementary school and they had to open a mothballed school.
