Snow. Schools closed. University closed. IR-fucking-S closed. Are we closed? Hells no!

Slogged out at 7:45 to find a bus. Found bus. Bus was stuck in snow. "I've been here for an hour. We're kinda low on the list. Come in and get warm, anyway." Sat in unmoving bus for half an hour, calling office from mobile to see if anybody else had even turned up. Saw blind man picking his way through snow w/cane.

Thanked nice bus driver, went back home to make coffee and attempt shoveling. Footprints made half-hour earlier were already filled in. Alternated between 500 pounds snow and half-episode of Dead Like Me. Got the driftiest bits of the drive done, decided I couldn't stand being in the goddamn house anymore without punching Mandy Patinkin through the video screen. Poured remainder of coffee in Jar-Jar Binks travel mug as way of saying Fuck You to universe, set car to ramming speed, broke out of driveway.

Roads hideous. However, I can drive like a motherfucker when I have to, and despite A Street's best efforts, did not spin out and into a tree at a blazing 10 mph. (Hint: Turn into the skid.) Arrived at office at crack of Noon.

To sum up: snow.

Yeesh. We got luckier here, instead getting freezing monsoon rain that sounds like someone's pouring buckets full of water down the windows. Set to turn to snow tonight! God, I fucking hate this time of year.

Jesus Fuck (she said, half admiring of your derring-do, half flabbergasted at the fact that you bothered), you're dedicated, girl. Am very relieved that you got to work in one piece. May you get home safely, too.


And, btw, That Song is still running through my head whenever brain is otherwise unoccupied.

Happily, we do not have snow today. We have sleet, ice pellets, torrential rains and a thunderstorm. But no snow. Yay?

We got rain earlier.

And now there's a lovely swirl of snow going all around us but not touching us...kinda like an annoying younger brother.

I'm never gonna get a snow day at this rate.

You are one cool lady. I don't think I've told you that.

Just more proof positive that you rock. ;) By the time that storm got to us, it was all rain. Lots and lots of rain.
