Glory ,'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
I don't know how people north of the Mason-Dixon line put up with it year after year.
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.
And it's relatively still and sunny bright up here at the moment. I think March came early....
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.
Also, AWESOME news about Grace!
It was crazy windy here last night -- I can't believe I had to go outside! I never go outside!
I am also reading through the old B-Craxy thread and wow, Joe was a *dick*. I'ma text him and tell him so. It's really kind of funny, because I remember reading what he wrote while I was at work and calling him and saying, "DUDE. WTF??"
It's making me laugh mostly because if that discussion were to be had today, I believe his position would be totally the opposite.
I haven't been out yet, but the thing about this storm was that there was SO MUCH water standing around by yesterday afternoon, that my guess is a lot of places have a foot of snow over a sheet of fairly thick ice depending on how cold it got last night. Water was an inch deep on some sidewalks in my hood. The drains were blocked with slush so water at the corners and curbs was just sitting and flowing onto the sidewalks.
I forgot to say that it is so exciting that Grace is coming home! Yay! By the way, I am not sure that I have ever expressed how much I love the name grace-- so simple and beautiful.
