School let out 20 minutes early here in KC, and we just have some thin freezing drizzle stuff.
We are under a blizzard watch from tomorrow morning til Wed. morning, and are supposed to get from 8 to 14". Wind chills tomorrow morning are supposed to be -20ish.
The bets going around the office is that school will be closed til Friday.
I went to the grocery store this weekend, so unless the power goes, we'll be fine.
I expect to be all caught up with my grading, which would be awesome. And to do some housework and bills.
I've got my shopping list for Walgreens tonight, including some milk and eggs (but no TP or bread, so at least I'm avoiding that cliche!). I'm also getting my hair cut and filling up my gas tank on the way home, and then taking out the boxes that have been stockpiling in my living room to the dumpster while I can still get to it.
If the power goes out, I'll be screwed because my heat is electric, as is everything else in my apartment.
I was just told not to come in tomorrow if it's bad. This is Texas. The fact that it's below 30 makes it bad.
Timelies all!

We're supposed to get snow turning to freezing rain. That's gonna make the morning commute oh-so-much fun.
The bets going around the office is that school will be closed til Friday.
I think the odds are pretty good on that. I just heard there's been a second school bus accident (nobody seriously injured).
I read about the Lee's Summit one; there was another?
The one with the fire truck earlier was the other one I heard about. I figure that's going to spook the school districts, which it should.
amyth, I'm so sorry. Teppy's right, muscle memory is going to get you for a while. But she was a great personality, and she knew she was loved.
Those of you in the path of snowpocalypseageddonagain, stay warm and off the roads as much as you can.
We woke up to a 56F house and a non-functioning furnace. We had a tech here in a couple of hours, by then indoor temp was 52F. He had us up and running in about half an hour, and we're all toasty again. But igloo-indoors was not fun, even for that long. So I'm wishing heat and safety to alla y'all, for the duration (and beyond!).
We're getting a coating of ice right now, and we're supposted to get a major snow dump on top of that. My department leader basically shooed us out of the office at noon and ordered us to work from home tomorrow and Wednesday.
My big worry is that we could get close to an inch of ice, and that's not a good thing in a neighborhood with above-ground power lines and lots of big, old trees.
P. Diddy is now just Diddy. When did that happen?
I love Graham Norton for how he can have the most random mixes of people on his show. And the look Diddy made when the British comedienne started talking about farting during oral sex...but then he went on to complain about long-term girlfriends that won't fart in front of him.
