yeah its pretty badass, though its somewhat hard to find if you are looking for it in a non Portuguese area. i got that case at a Portuguese supermarket in Kearny for 18 or 19 bucks

DC appears to be in the null zone of coating of sleet -> rain -> nothing currently -> barely anything later. I think I'll get the mail in shorts.

He does know. The USPS doesn't give a shit about anyone though. A couple years ago we got nearly 3 feet of snow and I had to shovel out the wife's car for THREE hours because they made her come in (and she went).

Uh, cry me a river? That's the job of the postal service: to deliver mail no matter what. If she's pregnant, yeah, she shouldn't be out trudging through several feet of snow so she should get a pass this year. However, a normal, healthy individual who is working as a mail carrier should expect to do that, just as a waiter/waitress should expect to work on super busy days like Mother's Day or Father's Day, and retail workers should expect to work on Black Friday, etc.

I've got 3 mail carriers in my family, all of whom have been doing it for 30+ years and are in their 50s or older now. They still trudge out through the snow to do their rounds without complaint.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds

NYC Mayor: 'Reconcile Yourselves With Your God, For All Will Perish In The Tempest' | The Onion - America's Finest News Source

Ready for the ish here in Brooklyn. It's been coming down since around 8 this morning.

Crisis averted! UPS had dropped it off at the Post Office which is only a mile and a half away. Pick up took 10 minutes. BOOYAAH!

Well maybe not a crisis but I'm still excited haha. Not that anyone cares.

i think i heard New Jersey Transit has suspended all services from 8pm tonight til Thursday morning.

I'd love to get that much snow overnight if I didn't have jack shit to do the next couple days. Shit, Buffalo got wrecked earlier this year, now the east coast is getting beat on. Here I am, in Michigan, having one of the warmest, non-snowy winters I've ever remembered. Man, I have about 1inch of snow outside...at the end of fucking january.

It was 76 here yesterday. Walked the dog in t-shirt and shorts. In January.

Erin Burnett looks like she's going to freeze to death on CNN. lol

She still looks damn cute though.

It was fairly cold here today, about 14 degrees f. We have about 4 inches of snow on the ground that fell a month ago. I laid on the snow nude to sunbathe.

So NYC goes from 3 feet snow prediction to 8 inches now. That's what CNN just said at least. Weather models have been a huge failure for this storm.

Hoping NYC is back in business after tomorrow, have a flight into JFK on Wednesday morning. Crazy looking storm though, 3 days ago this was a shitty little clipper system that wasn't supposed to do much.

JFC, Don Lemon on CNN is driving around in a Blizzardmobile.

They got the clipper wrong and they got the west edge of the offshore storm wrong. Sitting on <0.25" with the faintest trace of snow that's not really sticking tonight. As late as Mon mid-day they were predicting up to 2-4" in the "second wave" that never was.

Sweet blizzardmobile driving around on perfectly clear streets.
