Additional Comments: We are having a Nor'Estern here in Virginia (Norfolk) and our office actually closed. I wish I had known that before I dragged myself out of bed at 5:00 AM, but now I get to chill. It will probably be closed tomorrow also. Sweet! Backyard is flooded though, and I'm hoping we don't lose power. That would suck. Hope everyone else is having a great day!

I love it when that happens, although for us, it happens so rarely and only when the governor declares a state of emergency, usually because of a snow storm.

Our Corporate office is in VA, but I think they stayed open. They are near Washington DC.

Saw it on the news, Wow! Here's a tip make sure you have a battery operated radio, some kind of lantern AND batteries. We bought about $40 variety of sizes batteries in 2004 and still have most of the D size. (Expiration date 2011) Better to have and not need than need and not have. We were without electricity for 4 days and I don't like to depend on candles.

What is the forcast as far as more of the same?

Nice to have an unexpected day off. I do hope the storm does not cut your power and you will be safe and dry. There is a beautiful sunny sky this morning in Seattle, though pretty cold at 38 degrees. Rain is supposed to start soon and probably will not stop for a while. I will be out walking at lunchtime, enjoying the sun (hopefully it will stay sunny until then). Enjoy your day.

It's heading our way tomorrow. There's a HIGH pressure sitting above us here in Eastern Pennsylvania and it's keeping the storm (Nor'easter) down south.

I live 250 miles inland from the New Jersey shore area and we're going to get hit tomorrow, but they won't close our office - they already said they will only close on snow days if the State of Pennsylvania is declared an emergency and that only happens when there is a blizzard.

Stay warm katiesbeach. Do you have flashlights? A radio with batteries? Sterno's to heat food with? Stuff like that. I miss being at home, snuggling up on these cold damp dreary days.
