    But you hate that yard! I do too. That thing was as rutted out as Aleppo. Hopefully this means it's getting a facelift.

    There are times where I hate my friends or my family. However, I have no choice but to love them. Home is home, man. Yeah, those yards sucked when I was there. It's still home.

    Travel impact
    • If you have travel plans this weekend in the affected areas of the Midwest and Northeast, you may want to begin considering changing those plans. now what do I do? What will happen if I can't get to class Monday?

    You go anyhow! I was the only student in the Trenton class of February 2018 because the other guys couldn't make it because there was supposed to be snow. Bill and I commented on it then "Don't they know that they're going to have to drive in it once they get their CDL?" and it became a bit of a joke. I did my straight line backing practice on fresh snow, which meant I also got to learn how to rock the truck to get it to move when it started spinning out.

    Ahh I don't know about that. If I were you I would call your recruiter and explain the situation and see what they can do to reschedule you if the weather makes it impossible to fly.

    I'm hoping they are wrong on how bad it's going to be. I'm scheduled to fly out with a layover in Philadelphia at 6 am Sunday arrive at Mitchell airport around 11 am.

    Your weak "link" literally will probably be Philadelphia. All of the upstate airports such as Buffalo are very good at dealing with winter weather.

    Well, you already have a check in the "plus" column. If you're from Buffalo, you're already used to driving in crappy weather. You're gonna do just fine in a truck. It isn't as bad as people think. Unless of course you're from the south and never had drive time in the snow. I fear for those folks.
