After nothing blut slush yesterday, we got a foot of snow overnight.
When I was up at 3:00am, there was only six inches, so it's still coming down hard.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Keep breathing!
I heard a news report this morning from NJ about how it snowed all night and there are 22" of snow and I thought, hey, I'm near DC - we've been there and done that this year! Beautiful to look for the first day, annoying as heck afterwards. I don't know how people north of the Mason-Dixon line put up with it year after year.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Huh. I guess that's real.

And it's relatively still and sunny bright up here at the moment. I think March came early....

I'd like to come in some morning and not discover that I have to run a meeting at the last minute.

We had a ton of snow last night, but the buses were running fine and I made it in to work. I am glad I did not have to shovel a car out, because the parking lot at my apartment building was not plowed until after 7 am.
I don't think it is a snowpocalypse, though. I pretty much feel that until I have to shovel THE ROAD to get somewhere, everything is fine.

Now tagless for your comfort.

The oddest thing about this winter is that after two very snowy winters up here in Wisconsin, you guys are getting more snow than us.

BTDT twice, have the calluses to prove it.

Boy, last night was something, though. I don't know how it was in Somerville, but in Salem we were getting hammered with 50+ mph winds. The house I live in was shaking, it was so windy. This morning I saw that the fence in the back yard had blown partially down as well (and a couple more like it on the way to the train). Only rain, though; no snow.
The commute this morning could have been a nightmare, given that the line I'm on had trees down and power outages (thus frelling the signals) further up the line (we're the coastal route(s) in northern MA). But I only had a 20 minute wait, and got a seat, so not so bad at all. Just glad it wasn't raining during the extended wait.
I'm wondering how Nora fared.
