Yeh, well my time will be spent going back and forth to work at the shelter. I live about half a mile away. Even if buses stop running I still can walk it in... Hell I walk it home every night anyway. What's a little snow gonna hurt? Heh...
To be quite frank, homelessness doesn't stop for a nor'easter. many kids will be looking for a warm spot and a safe place to be. Many will walk miles to get to us. Staff will be there... and this weekend I will be one of those staff.
I did buy provisions today and have plenty to survive for a good two weeks. Now granted, my two weeks supplies is most folks' 4 day supply. I can make some food stretch. I'm not concerned with heat. I pay for it in my rent and the landlord runs oil throughout the building. Heat has never gone out in this building since I've lived here. And even more importantly, all medical issues have been resolved for now!! Woohoo bring on the blizzard!!
Snow storms are far better than ice storms... check out the one that hit Bangor in '98. I hadn't moved here yet so I count myself blessed!
