To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I hate waking to snow totals that have jumped, feds are closed and it hasn't even started snowing yet.
I mean, I know it will. It's the dread anticipation.
My hair is seriously wild. Pumpkin hairstyling skills definitely lean toward punk with a dash of teasing.

Everything is closed around here, and we only have maybe 2 inches on the ground, but we're supposed to get 2-3 more by noon. I am SO OVER winter, man.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
All the reports I've seen for NYC say 3-5", which isn't that much, but I heard at the bus stop that WNYC was saying 12-24"!! Can't confirm that, though, I think my neighbor must have misheard.
I really hope we don't have an early closing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Everything is closed .... except the public library.
Booo!
I asked my new hire to be here at 8:45 today, and she's not here yet! WTF. Not a good first impression.

Jess, I've been hearing amounts that are all over the map, too. The absolute latest info I've heard is 3–5″ today, and then an additional 4–6″ overnight.

Man, what does it take to close the library (other than a national holiday)? Hmm. I wonder if the CRC centers are open. I wonder if I want to dig out my car and drive UP the endless slope of Hamilton Avenue. Probably not.

Note: yesterday was a federal holiday. The Cincinnati public libraries were open. (Also our grounds people had done the best job of sidewalk clearing I saw in my 3-block walk to the post office at 8 am today. The library rocks.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Snow day here, and the snow has just started falling. Let's see what sticks...
