It's BACK!

I've decided that it's about time to bring back the End of the Work Week Wisdom. It's been a while, so if you want to check out some of the old ones, click on the "end of the work week wisdom" tag at the end of this post. :) Go ahead, this one will still be here when you get back. :)

And without further ado:

"There's snow, and then ice, and then more snow. It's like an Oreo. A crappy, cold Oreo."
--My description of the state of things in Seattle right now

The good news is that the snow (and ice, and more snow) seem to be melting at present. Let's just hope that it melts at a rate that the drains can handle...

Aw, man...

Apparently I spoke too soon yesterday. The snowpocalypse has arrived, and it ain't pretty. Luckily, I had already planned to head to UW again today, which turned out to be a MUCH easier commute than getting downtown would have been. There were easily 30 people waiting for my normal downtown bus at 8:30, and only 3 people waiting for the bus to UW.

So I'm hoping the snow stops early enough that the roads can be cleared before tomorrow, as I pretty much have to get to my office to do any more work. I've finished everything I have home with me, except for the answers that are sitting happily in my office. :)

I'm also hoping that they can get everything cleared before it gets super chilly tomorrow, cuz there will then be a lovely crust of ice on top of the snow, which will pretty much destroy all of my weekend plans. And that, my friends, would suck. A lot.

In other news, it looks like it will be warmer in Denver on Christmas Day than in Seattle or St. Louis. *boggles*

There is no snowpocalypse...

There is only Zuul. :)

So I had gotten myself good and ready for there to be HEAPING piles of snow everywhere when I woke up this morning. I peeked out the window at 6 a.m., and saw nothing. I continued peeking out the windows until I had to leave for the library, and still nothing. For about 1 minute after lunch, there was some vaguely sleet-y snow at UW, and then it was done.

Now I know that SOME parts of Seattle got snow, and apparently even a reasonable amount, but I'm still waiting for the impending snowpocalypse. Of course, I don't REALLY want it to happen, as I have plans for tomorrow night that hinge on no snow, and plans on Saturday that hinge on no snow. Oh, and Sunday too. Today was pretty much the only day I was willing to tolerate snow.

Sorry weather, you blew it. No snow for you. :p
