Well, shit. The snow came early. I think I'll butch up enough to go GET my work laptop, but that's about it.

Slightly south, we have the dreaded wintery mix, and no delay/cancellation. I hope that someone in the President's office closes us early so I can avoid the worst of the commute home.
Bless my 4WD.

I've got at least 2" of heavy wet snow already. Think I'll shower, drive in and home.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ours is supposed to come overnight, which I hope means a snow day tomorrow, since I am well enough to work, but by no means 100%.

Yeah, this was supposed to be rain. But no. Main event is set up to start late this afternoon.
I'm back from getting the work laptop. Roads were gross. I had a few nailbiter moments when I lost traction and did not go the direction I intended.
Expect to be yelling at Loki all day. He's being a mess.

OK, we LOVE my neighbor S's boyfriend. He's out there shoveling and shoveled up to where I stopped. Which is like 4 houses (I did 3 since I was out there to get to work and back.) He doesn't even (technically, but his car is here all the time) live here. (But he kinda does.) She gets all the handy helpful ones.

not your mom's socks.
So sorry for your loss shrift. Much ~ma to your mom and to you.
Snow is smacking us here too, but someone forgot to tell the schools. I can hear cars slipping and figure that I might feel safer driving in an hour or two, but today is a half day anyway. So, I'm thinking of calling it a snow day. Or, because DH was up all night w/stomach flu, just a plain old fashioned sick day for the house. Still need to go to the grocery store though. Blek.

Sox, maybe you can find a coupon for grocery delivery?
My ride into work was not bad, although on some of the slushy streets where you couldn't see the painted lines people were making it up as they drove along. They were All Wrong, of course. We'll all be watching out the window to see when the change over to all snow happens and then click to update our email relentlessly until we get word we can close and go home - hint, hint Mr. Uni President.
Shrift, I'm so sorry. My best to you and your family.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Four helicopters hovering over Loyola. Wonder what's going on.

I think I need to shut off the radio. I can't focus and I need to skim through reports spanning the last 17 years for software issues, and I just can't get into it.
