By virtue of the fact that they somehow forgot to plow/salt the roads, Holmes Road is a sheet of glass, and we couldn't get any closer to work than Minor Drive (~115th Street, for those playing along at home). A lot of people weren't getting even that far, which made the "dear gods, keep moving forward!" axiom of Iowegian Driving School difficult to maintain, even for me.

So, we'll be trying again about noon, but for now - snow day!

Make a snow fairy

Give into the omen, and your inner-child and spend the day at home.
Play in the snow, hot chocolate, and that pile of stuff at home. Take a nap or two. Enjoy the break.

I was rather surprised myself at just how crappy the roads were today, even with them having been plowed downtown.

Absolutely awful commute.

It's always the other drivers fault.

I dunno what's up with the lack of road treatment ... was it supposed to get really warm and wet and melt everything or something?

In any case, I played "drive around the stuck cars" all the way to work this morning. While vaguely amusing, it's a teeny bit stress inducing.

Actually, it's not supposed to get above freezing for a week now. Brrrrr... I am not happy with this.

Ick, and your fireplace is still out of commission, isn't it?

Yes, it is still not functional. :(
I have an appointment for a chimney guy to come look at it, but their first opening was in February. So, space heater and blankies until then...

Driving into downtown at 8ish this morning was a super-fun experience. Then I got to lay in bed and listen to cars try to spin their wheels to make it up 10th St. from Main to Broadway.

Saw a few of them slide right back down. . . .

And how were the roads even WORSE!!!! When I left to come into work???
