LAN countdown
« on: February 26, 2010, 04:45:49 AM »
Good Morning everyone. Only about twelve hours until the LAN and it full steam ahead. The weather is here and we are not backing down. Speaking on behalf of FITES, we are looking forward to seeing everyone. Please take your time today getting to the event. The roads will be slick so please don't rush. We do want everyone to arrive safely and have a great time.

I've been here since Wed night (got a great rate at the Motel6), I live in the Atlantic City area.

I didn't know how the roads would be, and as you recall, they were really talking up the storm.

Then it didn't snow HERE until this morning really.

And of course, I left home without my keyboard and mousepad and had to go to Walmart.

I put out a contract on Murphy.

We hardly got any snow in Mechanicsburg (my house is ~5 mins from the venue). Mostly just a light dusting, but a Crapload of wind.

CST/Pittco group of 5 will be coming from Pittsburgh. Sort of concerned about the weather, but we should be fine.

Pretty pumped to spend the weekend gamin.

Yeah, down here in York we just got a dusting but I think the drifts made it much worse.  The road my garage is attached to has 1-2 ft drifts every 10 ft or so.  I will wait a tad and let a plow come through before I leave.  It'll just give me time to pack.

Everyone, please please PLEASE!  Drive very carefully.  I am not worried about the snow as much as I am the wind.  Especially those coming in SUV's or other high profile vehicles.  See you there!
That's Mr. Deception to you.

I am coming from Cleveland, someone decided it was a good idea to just poop snow all over this place, got about 3 inches so far, more coming? I am not leaving here till probably 4:30, 5, maybe i'll get there before the lan ends?

you wont have much of a problem. West PA got some snow but they can handle & clear it off the roads pretty faster than east PA can

That's a 5½ hour drive without snow, why are you waiting until then to leave?

Work?
