Yay for getting home, ChiKat! Yep, it's snowing here now, too, but not really bad yet. People are already starting to head out, but I'm waiting until 1:00 to get something to eat at the cafeteria, and then will be hitting road between 1:30 and 2:00. I'll have to go online from home to send out some governors' speeches tonight, so I'll be making up time then.
Mal: Yeah, well, just be careful. We cheated Badger out of good money to buy that frippery, and you're supposed to make me look respectable. Kaylee: Yes, sir, Captain Tightpants.

Surgery~ma, Gracie!
IO9 has redesigned. It's awful, and their testers should be shot.
God, please tell me Jezebel isn't going to do the same.

My friends who live down by Williamburg have a forecast of 72 tomorrow. That's only 180 driving miles away.

Stay safe, people! Kathy, I am kind of tempted to tell you to go home right now. You don't want to wait until it gets really bad -- that's when you want to be home already.
The direct route involves going through Arkansas to Memphis, then I-40 across Tennessee to Knoxville or so and up I-81.
We're getting a lot of rain today in Nashville, and the temps are supposed to go below freezing tonight, but I think that should be after the rain has mostly stopped. Tomorrow it'll also hover around freezing for most of the day, but I'd bet the interstates will be fine.

The snow is, so far, pretty light, and even with the wind blowing, visibility is perfectly fine. I just talked with my boss, who doesn't have any snow at the office on the north side yet, and told her I'd be out of here by 2:15 at the latest, which is eight hours after I got here this morning. Also, I only have a five mile commute home.

Surgery is done. She had some constriction since last time but it opened back up even more so. We have another surgery in 6 weeks. thanks for the vibes.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Glad it went ok, Kat. I hope Ms. Grace is feeling ok after surgery.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They let the schools out early here, which I just think is a terrible idea. I mean, I'm sure many parents can't get back from work or where ever in time -- it didn't sound like there was much notice.
Once again, I am hoping for a snow day tomorrow! But if we're open, I'm here. I just wish I trusted the van driver a little more....
