Yeah, I was just going to post that they're predicting iceageddon. My wife did her weekly shopping today, and said Aldi's shelves were mostly empty.
They still don't have all the cars out of the ditch from the last ice storm. There was ice, but it wasn't like I didn't go on about my daily life. For the bad storms, I usually hang back and let the people who are going to wreck do it without involving me. I've seen a wreck before, and the idea of being involved in one doesn't excite me.
I can work remotely. Most of my work from the office is remote, so I don't really get to be ”off”. In 2014, while on vacation on another continent, I ended up remotely doing a mail server migration, moving a DNS server, rebuilding a phone system (flash drive crashed), and setting up a firewall. I couldn't do the physical install or wiring, but I did all the software and config. The hardest thing was dealing with a bad RAID controller, which necessitated recovering data and moving it, then rebuilding the RAID array once the controller was replaced. Also difficult was a domain controller that was rebooted, but lost its date/time sync, and wouldn't allow logon, and Windows would override the CMOS time. Actually, I have full control of all servers, thin clients, TVs, cameras, etc. I have remote console of switches, routers, firewalls, etc. Workstations are limited to VNC and RDP, but I have PXII or PXE, which provides some flexibility. And the closets have robotic automation. As long as both ends have power and internet, I'm usually good. I have facilities I control in Florida, but I've never been on-site.
