    Me and my buddy from the news desk did that during last year's East Coast snowstorm. I walked a mile to his place, then we walked another half-mile to get to where circulation could pick us up and bring us in. When there was another huge storm a week later, we both stayed in a hotel near the paper (I abandoned my 8 months pregnant wife to do so) so we could work the next day.

    He got laid off three months later.

    It's that last part that's the catch. There's no way to get the papers out. Downtown is a quagmire of snow right now. I haven't been out now, but everyone is saying the roads are worse today than yesterday because of ice. It would be virtually impossible to get the trucks needed to deliver all the papers downtown to our building.
