Back then people HAD to go to work because people were petrified of losing their jobs. People who weren't alive and old enough to understand that will never understand that.
It was far different time back then...it wasn't the soft society of today..
From Snowthuen:
First measurement last night shortly before 6;30 was 8.5...an additional 10.1 has fallen since then ...18.6 so far.
Very light snow falling...
Firstt clearing and measure from Snowthuen- -8.5...snowfall rates are going to have to really pick and/or there is going to have to be several inches of snow tomorrow to reach the higher forecasted totals..
