Your library is hardcore.

Work just called liberal leave. Will see what the ice looks like when I'm showered and dressed. I may work from home for an hour or two. It's on the trees and deck, but it doesn't seem like the stuff coming down is freezing, so surfaces might be ok.

I can't tell how bad it is here. The highways look slushy on the traffic cams, which is a bad sign. But we didn't get the inch of ice I was afraid we would - the trees are not iced up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's just started snowing hard here, and my job finally confirmed that we are open today. Yeah, no -- it's fine now, but only just started snowing hard! I was going to go in now and plan to leave early, when I finally got the email from my boss that she's planning to work from home and see about going in later. So I'm not going in!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Spent the night at a hotel instead of driving home in the snowstorm. When I woke up I noticed the bedside clock wasn't showing "a.m." it was showing "AU." Uh - oh. Now I'm going to be spending all day looking for differences.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Snowing like a hamster here. The kind of storm where the mayor has a secret sigh of relief that he/she didn't call it a snow emergency for nothing.

Uh-oh, dcp. The radio didn't start playing "I Got You, Babe" -- that would be a Very Bad Sign.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

A few days late for that, but a little calendar drift would almost make sense

Since we all read dcp's post, are we in the AU too?

It is awfully pretty out there.

Other than the city salt dump truck barreling towards me at 50 in a 25 while straddling the yellow line, the drive in an hour ago was fine.

Except now, cramps. Bah.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

We gots the snow. Maybe 5 or 6 inches? I'm on the train. I wish I had gotten my good boots out of storage as the ones I'm wearing have little tread left, which makes walking in the snow more energy-intensive. But hey, I gota good workout.
