It's supposed to snow here tomorrow night and early Saturday morning. I'm taking a wait and see approach to what will happen. Mostly because I have to leave the house at 3 am (in bad weather) to get to work at 4 am. I'm hoping for either no snow or enough snow at the right time that it will be easy to call out at work. What I really don't want is the snow to hold off until I'm headed back home and then can't get up the mountain and have to hang out in town and hope for the best.

Separately I have come to theorize that most, if not all, firemen (or aspiring firemen) are pyromaniacs.
I have found this to be true. Source: Best friend is a fireman. At least most of them channel their love of flames in constructive ways.

They're predicting snow for DC ... AN INCH ... of course, panic is ensuing. One woman in my office refuses to come in when it snows; she's older and uses a scooter, so there's some rationale behind it.
And, in other news - some other possible snow-related panic.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yep. That's DC. On the other hand, I'd already arranged to work from home tomorrow for other reasons.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
We aren't expected to get anything until after work Friday and into Saturday, but I'm thankful that my workplace is ridiculously loosey-goosey on WFH requests for those of us with office jobs (sadly, can't make the factory side of the business that way). I'm also thankful for whatever anonymous internet genius originally photoshopped that AT-AT on Glenwood Avenue image that I repost every year, because it so perfectly captures the reaction to snow here.

Yeah, I'm not thrilled about tomorrow's morning commute here in the Maryland 'burbs. At least, not 270.

Still amazed I handled the crush in 08. Literal at times. Probably because it was super positive and I was responsible for a kid.
I think it was doable for me because it was such a feel good moment. This is not a feel good moment.

The grocery store was packed today, I thought it was everyone buying for the weather but it turns out there was a local foods thing going on and that's why people were there.
