Four helicopters hovering over Loyola. Wonder what's going on.
Flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
How long is the snow supposed to last in DC? (My sister is supposed to be flying out here tomorrow morning.)

Um, the bulk of it is this afternoon/overnight. Warning lasts until 4 am right now. I think I'm getting much worse than DC, but she should probably spend the day checking in with the airline.
Cats keep taking my seat.

Sox, maybe you can find a coupon for grocery delivery?
I love those. But it's next-day or after and tomorrow is supposed to be digging out from the rest of the 6-12 inches we're getting. Weather people are talking about bands of the storm, so hopefully we'll catch a break and I can take the sled up to the co-op, AND the co-op will be open and not filled with crazy people.
Ok, that's asking much, isn't it.

Yeah, she already told me there would probably be delays, but it sounded like it started earlier than expected, so I thought maybe it would end earlier too.

Because books.
We weren't supposed to get snow until tonight, and apparently it started overnight instead. We have three or more inches already, it looks like, and they cancelled school.
I have to say, if it keeps snowing at the rate it is now, we're going to be buried. I can't believe they didn't cancel school for you guys, Sox.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can't believe the amount of mucus my body is producing. Also, thank goodness I talk to the fellow van-riders now, because I thought I was just hot on the ride in because I have a fever, but a colleague confirmed it was really hot in there. Next time I'll say something.

I called in and spoke to one of our favorite teachers, who said that a lot of people had used their best judgement. The information they had at 5:30 and 6 was that it was all going to be washed away by now with rain. Um, no, not so much. I have a feeling that the Philadelphia school system didn't close, and thus many of the area schools didn't close. Which is going to make for some fantastic radio call in shows later in the week.

yah. totally.

Perkins, it seems like it will be done by midnight here, but if you want to keep track, the Capital Weather Gang is great: [link]
