... meanwhile, back to the OP - sorta -
many years ago I had to travel to a branch office in the Twin Cities, Minnesota ... the Manager of that office said that I should get out there before Thanksgiving to avoid the snow ... as it happened, my schedule didn't allow me to make the trip until the Monday AFTER Thanksgiving ... sure enough, on the Saturday before, I'm checking the Twin Cities forecast and it says "two feet of snow expected on Saturday and Sunday" ... I was supposed to fly there on Sunday, so I call the Manager and he tells me to wait until Monday and everything would be fine ... Well, they got about a foot of snow on Saturday and about another two feet on Sunday, but when I flew in on Monday the streets were as clean as could be ... snow piled everywhere, but the streets were clean ... the great thing was that my hotel was about 4 blocks from the office but I never had to go outside ... indoor skywalks got me every place I wanted to go ... only needed my over coat when the Manager took us out to dinner out of the city ...
