Glad that you didn't blame the airlines, like the woman stranded in Chicago;
"the airline just keeps giving us the runaround"

What is FEMA doing about this? If they're not giving everyone a free 4-wheel drive SUV then I demand an investigation!

Yup - and it'll barely receive a mention on the MSM until it hits the East coast. THEN IT'LL SUDDENLY BECOME THE STORM TO END ALL STORMS!! The way they handle the forecasts in the Boston area is to make a routine "noreaster" sound like an unusual occurring event.
Once the storm gets north of Boston, coverage is stopped, and people in Maine can be getting hammered, and the world would never know it. - tom

"No power here in STL...and they say it could be for 4-5 days."
I got a call from my daughter this afternoon. She and her husband are grad students at Washington University. No heat in her apartment. Her husband wants to get a hotel room outside of the city but she won't leave her cats.

'Closure' is a noun. So far so good. It is commonly understood to refer to the act of closing rather than the object that closes or is used to close. The misuse as a term meaning completion or leaving no loose ends is very common.

Envirowhackos - Wrong yesterday, and wrong today!!!
Click here for an American Electric problem!
Besides, they haven't made any serious upgrades to the national power grid in over 2 decades and given the environmental sentiment, they are unlikely to change soon. that means that we should all begin to have some reliability issues where electric is concerned.
IK clasps hands together (he's an electrician) says your generator is probably a little overkill (10KW would probably be more than enough) and knows that life is about to good as a nation gets sick of greenies!

I know it's overkill, but my wife grew up in eastern europe and she'd rather have too much than too little. (and she's so good lookin that I just don't have it in me to say no to her...)

We could have gotten to Chicago on the 1:18 this afternoon but that was as far as they could promise...
Given the choice between possible overnight in O'Hare and a warm bed in Springfield...Well it's really no choice at all.

Joking aside, I would think "closure" would be be better to describing "ending" than "closing".

Lost our power for a couple hours. It was nice -- no TV or other noise. :-)

I've been around a few years, and I've often seen snow melting from solar radiation when the air temp is below 32.And of course anyone who knows anything about thermodynamics knows that solids can evaporate without going through the liquid stage. Just look at your ice cubes that shrink in the freezer if the trays are left in there for a while.
