The Snow We Should Have Had Thursday
posted Sat, 01/22/05
We've had the sort of snow today that would have really messed up the coronation events, though it is not really that much of a snowstorm. We've had maybe 4 inches or so, enough to screw up this area, but nothing compared to what they're getting further to our north. New York City is getting pounded, but I know my parents always have plenty of supplies in the house as do my in-laws, so we're not worried--they'll be fine.
What really concerns me is tomorrow, because, as I stated, I am scheduled to be working, and so far, there is no indication we will be closed. The forecast predicts temperature HIGHS in the low 20s with wind chill factors hovering about 0 degrees F. This would make it a miserable job to clear off the car, the roads will be a mess, and when I do get to work, there will be nowhere to park. And what for? So someone can come in and use the Internet?
While this may be a sanity saver, it is NOT a vital service and I am hoping that the powers that be recognize that. We shall see.
The girls were quite good today. During the afternoon both the Man and I wound up taking a nap with our big black boy cat, and SC and JR managed to get along peacefully and didn't come charging in to wake us up. Amazing..........
