"Where were you during this winter’s first gridlock-inducing snow storm?"

Donald R. Frederico – Greenberg Traurig, LLP
"I left work early that day to pick up my daughter from school, hoping to beat the gridlock and still enjoy a productive afternoon working from my home.  The heavy snow started just as I arrived at the school.  The trip home from there, which normally takes 30 minutes, took closer to 90.  I still did better than my wife, who left her job at 5:00 and was stuck in traffic for three hours."

Marty Mazzone – Fidelity Investments FMR Corp
"I am in the happy position of being able to walk to and from work.  So, I would have been able to walk home – however, it happened to be the evening of our company’s holiday party at the World Trade Center.  I considered taking the shuttle over to the party but saw the gridlock and decided to walk, arriving twenty minutes later.  (The bus arrived an hour later.)  I walked home after the party.  No problem.  And the party was fun!"

Mala M. Rafik – Rosenfeld & Rafik, P.C.
"I was sitting in my office, pretending to work, but really staring out the window at the snow falling on Old City Hall.  It was perfect.  Nothing could ruin the tranquility of the evening – not even my commute home."

Peter Acton – McDermott Will & Emery
"I was sitting in my office, oblivious to it all until I started fielding phone calls from stranded attorneys urging me to take the train (which, on advice of counsel, I did)."

 

Laurie C. Carafone – Dwyer & Collora, LLP
"Driving back from a hearing in Connecticut for eight hours."
