Well, I'm in DC and we have our first snow of the winter. It's more like a heavy frost in town ... but, as usual, the people have gone batshit. Traffic was insane (more so than usual), the bus was packed with people who don't normally take the bus, people were bundled up as though on an expedition to the pole (north or south, take your pick ... but no sled dogs). Took me longer than usual to get to work and I had to bus part way and take the Metro for the rest. I'm thinking they'd take a rain of toads with less hysteria.
Willow: Something evil-crashed to earth in this. Then it broke out and slithered away to do badness.
Giles: Well, in all fairness, we don't really know about the "slithered" part. Anya: No, no, I'm sure it frisked about like a fluffy lamb.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yay, alarm wasn't set! I don't think my car manual would have helped since the alarm wasn't factory installed.
ION, the landlords apparently suck at cleaning up a parking lot. It's all icey.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I remember that about DC.
I think everyone should be required to bring 1 sled dog, so, if something happens, they can pull the bus. Although, then, you'd probably need to adapt the bus, put runners on it, but this is SNOW we're talking about, and no expense is too extravagant.

We're at the can't-see-the-ground point. (Well. The can't-see-the-road point, anyway. I can still see grass.) I checked again, just to see if they'd changed their minds, but no. Guess it's time to get in the car and head down the mountain. Slowly. Wonder how many kids will actually be there?
It's not actually that the snow's that bad -- it's that I've been told repeatedly, by kids and teachers and county administrators, that due to the rural roads the buses have to travel, they tend to cancel school as soon as there's one snowflake. So what the hell is going on here?

Aimee, I meant to say, "WooHoo! Go you, getting back to school!" yesterday but forgot. So I'm saying it today.
WooHoo! Go you, getting back to school!

I don't want to go to work. I'm still home. I can be there in 10 minutes, though which is nice.

Rejoycing was premature. The car is completely dead. I must have left my map light on or something. I just changed the batter last year.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Sometimes the cold can drain a battery, sj. Moments like this are made for AAA.

I've called them. They're on their way.

Heh. That's funny! I'm glad that we haven't found the TV yet, post-moving, so that we didn't have to deal with the forecasts of Doom And Gloom last night. Because, in actuality, we got maybe 1 inch overnight.
(I was hoping for a snow day, dang it.)
