Oh, and my lights were just flickering a bit. NOOOO!!!
Mine did that earlier. I dug out one of those flashlight headlamps my dad put in our christmas stockings one year, and I have some candles. But I hope it doesn't happen.
I'm roasting right now because I have the heat cranked on the theory that if the power does go out it'll take longer to get cold.
Did not make it to the dog park. (Which is, like, 150 yards or less.) The wind is so strong it was painful. And something about the way it's blowing meant that my side of the street was basically clear, but the other side was up to my knees. Plus the dog was freaking right out from the crazy wind. Oy.
And tomorrow we take all this and add bitter cold.
I always feel bad for my neighbor and his dogs in bad weather. He has a couple of whippets or mini-greyhounds or whatever they are. Lazy wee lapdogs, very high strung and they eventually decided to like me. Loki probably weighs more. They have NO body fat or fur, and I'll hear him out back, exhorting them to PEE DAMNIT! I'm surprised he hasn't set up a litterbox/pee parlor in the basement.
Instead of a snow day tomorrow the theatre I'm working in is putting us up in a hotel tonight. It's a working snowpocalypse for me.
I was trying to get my boss to just tell me not to come in tomorrow, but he was all "We'll wait and see." He's always skeptical about these snopocalypse weather predictions. So I'll have to get up early tomorrow and send him an email: "Yep, the governor said to stay indoors" or whatever before I can climb back into bed. It's crazyness!!
Write it tonight, roll over and hit send when you hit the mute on the alarm. God knows I've done it.
Blizzard continues to rage, drifts may reach 6 to 8 feet later tonight
Fucking awesome!

Numerous reports have come in to the WGN Weather Center describing Northbound Lake Shore Drive as "gridlock". One motorist claims he has been on the drive for over 3 and 1/2 hours.
WTF where they doing on Lake Shore Drive in the first place? Guy had to have gotten on Lake Shore Drive at 3:30. Idiot.
OK, I've had Baltimore's near worst. I don't want that.
Oh, roads in my county are closed. Looks like the university Pres made the right decision.

You know, The Day After Tomorrow is seeming less and less unintentionally hilarious these days.
