You don't do MGWCC, do you?

Just as I was finding the last piece, I noticed something that should have been obvious from the get go.
Wendy, sorry about 25D
Iām in Colorado too! I somehow made it home from a business trip late last night after dodging snow in Hartford, Chicago, and Denver (I think I used up all of my travel luck for the year). The drive home from DIA last night was crazy!grwinski wrote: Fri Feb 07, 2020 12:15 pm The comments here convince us more and more that we have the same trepidation as others. There are plausibly 4 answers to this, assuming we're thinking the same school as others.
Do we roll the dice? Still stewing about it here in Colorado, where we're getting another 3 inches today after 5 on Thursday. (talk about icy!)

First a warm welcome to our three newest muggles: yourpalsal, SusieG and michaelm. They have all made their way to the warm and dry shore.
We have 6 on the ship, mostly with an answer but... and we have 78 on the shore.
Last thing for those of us in New England, 42 years ago, we were in the midst of a blizzard which was legendary.
And 50 years ago, I was sitting in our apartment playing cards with my mother in law while my wife was in labor with our son. (for those who forget, the hospitals at that time did not allow the father in the labor room or the delivery room). And my wife has not let me forget!!!
Two of my friends were stuck in that snow on 128. About 3 am, the police told them to leave their cars and get on the school buses in the northbound lane. Three days later, they got a call of where to pick up their cars.MarkL wrote: Fri Feb 07, 2020 1:50 pmA storm to remember! Amazing to see the whole city of Boston still and silent.

Joined by Dom, who so wants to overthink this and not go with the answer we independently arrived at. I will just wait for the reveal Sunday at 11:00 central - I am just not going to try to see if I/we have been pageant-ed.
