We had our first "snowfall" today (less than an inch overnight/into the morning commute), and a worker and I were discussing snowstorms. Our workplace has a extremely barbaric attitude to calling out during inclement weather. (For perspective: Last winter we had over 8 inches within a few hours, the state almost declared it an emergency, and I still got a "penalty" for not coming to work.)
Me: Yeah, I've heard this winter is predicted to be really bad in terms of snowfall.
CW: Yeah, I don't really know how I'm going to manage being 30 minutes away now. My parents have been encouraging me to get a new car, one that's better in snow, but mine's almost paid off in August, and I don't want another four years of car payments.
Me: (internally) yessssssss!
