Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I just shoveled for the second time. About another 4 inches had fallen since the last time I was out.
Also, it sounds like everything around here is going to be closed through Tuesday, because of the beastly cold on top of a huge amount of snow. I have a feeling I'll be working from home tomorrow at least.
It sounds terrifying out there! Stay safe.
The snow is deep enough here we had a bit of trouble finding a place where the dog could cross the street this morning. Six more inches by nightfall, and then the cold sets in. High of minus 12 tomorrow. Oy.
Goodness. Stay warm and safe everyone!
I am also doing laundry, yee-haw.
Anne, you're still St. L, right? We have 5" in KC, and it's 13. Supposed to get more snow soon but it's on a break now. Supposed to be -9 +windchill tonight; methinks school will NOT be in session tomorrow.
Yup. Still in St. Louis. I'd guess we have about 7" right now where I am. My worry is that with the heavy winds this afternoon, people will end up losing power.
Chicago schools are staying open.
It's raining here now, but by Monday night the temperature is supposed to drop into the single digits.
I'm not going out till spring if I can help it.
New bed skirt ironed and put on bed! Although I think it looks kind of stupid, possibly less stupid than the mattress? Currently in the laundry is all of my bedding, including the duvet. Let's hope washing it gets rid of my urge for a new one....
I will be very interested to hear if they still think it's a good idea to have the Super Bowl in a place with winter and no dome after this one.
Someone - I think aurelia? - mentioned this thing from Thinkgeek [link] and now my kids are running around the house pretending to be video game heroes and cowboys.
Hee. My nephew's favorite was the 8-bit hero, which on a 6'-4" kid is kinda hilarious.
Six more inches by nightfall, and then the cold sets in. High of minus 12 tomorrow. Oy.
I have to work tomorrow and I'm having trouble deciding if I should drive or slog to the train. I'm pretty sure they stopped salting the roads sometime yesterday, which I understand, but it does make for some serious slop. My concern with going to the train is that I can only put on so many layers of socks and with the Raynaud's my toes get cold quickly. I can wrap up enough to keep the rest of me warm enough.
