I grew up in Detroit and never missed a single day at work due to weather. I now live near Baltimore. My first month there they shut the office down for three days due to snow. To be fair, it was lots and lots of snow but three days was a bit much.

One year early in my career, we had a national sales meeting. I was close enough that I didn’t rate a hotel room. There was a significant snowstorm coupled with a snowplow operator strike. Needless to say, the roads kinda sucked.

I left home at 4am and was still an hour late to the meeting, but that’s what you do.

But where did you learn that? How does the current generation learn that?

NHL New Jersey Devils: The 334 Club

Long story short ... January 22, 1987 ... massive snowstorm shuts down the Northeast ... the NHL game between the New Jersey Devils and the Calgary Flames at the New Jersey Meadowlands sports complex started two hours late because many of the HOME team's players couldn't make it to the arena. The visiting team was able to make it on time because they were staying at a hotel right across the road.

334 New Jersey fans braved the elements to show up. The team recognized them for their loyalty by creating the "334 Club," giving them free tickets to other games and team memorabilia. They still hold reunions around January 22nd every year.
