Upton, where I am right now, got 30" (the most in NY state), and it feels like twice that is on my car.
I tried to dig it out and gave up after 45 minutes - there's nowhere to put the snow. I'm going to have
to wait until the lot gets plowed to have any chance.

At least the sun is out and it's fairly warm now

Supposedly, the biggest blizzard in thirty five years is coming.

Hey, I know! Let's go driving!

As long as they have plenty of Bud Light Lime...

And people are actually complaining because Governor Patrick ordered all non-essential drivers off the road at 4PM yesterday in MA.  At least we have no scenes like this.

Walker: They can survive in there for months, especially if it's a Super Walmart with a grocery store inside. In a zombie apocalypse make a run for the Super Walmart.

Bad idea.  Ground zero of the infection will probably be AT walmart.

Sounds like a Stephen King story in the making.

Next week's headline;
"Wal-mart manager fired for helping stranded motorists"

garkola: Sounds like a Stephen King story in the making.

"Hipsters forced to spend time in WalMart due to storm, discover values."

"Wow, these Faded Glory jeans are great! And they cost less than my quadruple latte venti triswirl."

The Mom and Pop stores that Walmart drove out of business never could have done something like this.

You know those bins with the cheap video games and 5 dollar dvds? Don't touch those. We call those "the sars bin". Every sick person coughs into it while mauling every dvd.

They're shopping at Wal Mart before it was cool.  They'll come out sporting flat brimmed hats, cheap aviator shades, and XXXL t-shirts with day glo slogans on them.

But...but...but Walmart is the root of all evil.  Obama told me so.

Prey4reign: The Mom and Pop stores that Walmart drove out of business never could have done something like this.

Tim Hortons and just random nice people invite stranded people in Ontario to their places during severe snow squalls.

I tremble thinking of the possibility of the outcome of this Walmart encampment 9 months from now. Used to be "People of Walmart", soon it might be "Babies of Walmart". Mayans might have missed it by a year.

Man, that would be a lot of volleyballs.

/ WILSON!

GeeksAreMyPeeps: I'm going to upgrade my opinion of Walmart from "evil" to "mostly evil" - upgrade pending whether corporate takes action against the manager responsible.

Wow...you sure rollover and sellout your values rather quickly, eh?  I hate to break the news but all sorts of random acts of kindness occur at Walmarts everywhere, every day.  Maybe if you lowered your overwrought rhetoric a bit, you might be able to see them.

The derp is so strong about the ban. People are so outraged about the ban, they'll drive the minute it is lifted, probably driving at posted speed.

Dammit, what made Bostonians so stupid in 35 years? You used to be so cool.

In Wal Mart, there is a slim chance that communism will be implemented.

basemetal: Do they sell beer?  I could see making due for a few days there with a credit card on hand.

Unless you are in some bumfarked hellhole dry county yes.If your state allows wine or liquor to be sold in grocery stores they have that too.

Shuuuure, when white people do something, they "find" it.

/White people find shelter

Walmart is awesome. Truly one of the best corporations on Earth.

What are these retarded drivers doing out in that? No doubt they were warned not to drive.  After Walmart saves their asses they should be tossed in the pokey.

MrHelpful: But...but...but Walmart is the root of all evil.  Obama told me so.

Walmart's ineptness at the most simple concepts of logistics has done more to keep me from shopping there than anything Obama could've done.

1st Amendment ring any bells?   Freedom of assembly.   Executive order = Martial Law.

Oh FFS...

Is this the same Walmart where somebody got crushed to death Ina stampede on "Black Friday" a couple of years ago?

Hipster douche rhetoric against WalMart--bah.  Those Mom and Pop stores went out of business because they did not have a sufficient variety of merchandise and what they did have was overpriced.  Plus,  a customer had to deal with whatever shiatty mood they were in that day.  Not me, I hate those little entremanuers.
Love WalMart--good prices, nice employees, lots of merch.  Nice place to walk around if nothing else.  I love going there late at night.
I keep 'em in business.  All my stuff comes from there.

In Ontario, we got about a foot of snow. It's possible to navigate, just a big pain in the ass. My Friday classes were cancelled, so I danced a little jig, then got caught up on assignments. My poor friend had to haul ass to the mall for her crappy retail job. She said everyone just sat around and stared mostly, they only had a dozen customers the entire day. Finally, corporate gave the stores permission to close early without penalty.

/if you don't need to go out, then don't

Your Wal-Mart sounds a lot different than the Wal-Mart like me which is over-crowded and understaffed.

Plus you get some interesting characters late at night.

We could live here, and no one would know.

FTFM

Darwin's calling for a foul.  He can't believe the refs are allowing this.

Seriously, WTF were those people doing on the road?  If you know shiat like that is coming (I'm in the People's Republic of Best California and knew it was coming!), don't go to work the day it's supposed to hit.  If you must go to work, plan for the incredibly likely possibility that the storm will hit early and you'll be better off spending the night at work instead of trying to drive home in your front wheel drive mom-van with bald tires and no chains.
