Mine went off and on a few times. Our cable went out for about 2 hours or so. I got a phone call at 2:45 from a friend 3 blocks down who's power went out for a while because they were going to come over here if their's didn't come back on.
It's a good thing I use my cell phone for an alarm clock or I would've been screwed in terms of getting up for class.

Our's went off a couple of times...
...thank goodness for battery back-up on the alarm clock. I was actually disappointed that classes were not delayed...
...I wanted to sleep in.

From the one who complained the past two times classes WERE delayed...
Maybe you shouldn't have complained so much

Had this been a Tuesday or Thursday, I have no doubt in my mind classes would've been delayed (although the roads are fine). We've just missed too many days on MWF.

Up here in just east of DC< we have about 3/4 of an inch of ice here. I work in a wholesale florist warehouse so I had to go into work this morning around 3AM. No calling out in this job on Valentine's week. The roads were awful here and as I was driving in, the rain was incredibly hard and froze on contact.
Right now, we are on a on again off again relationship with power and internet and have had no cable for a while now.

4 inches of snow. 2 inches of ice.
Temp = 15 deg F.
Wind chill = (-)6 deg F.
wind gusts 35-45 mph.
perfect for driving around in an ambulance and carrying sick and injured people thru snowdrifts/unplowed roads and walkways.
