Indeed, please may those in the path of the storm be careful. We have a big blob of weather hitting us too. Rather like tropical waves, except chillier. Still 70F now, but when the rain hits it will drop. Lots of rain. Alas, I have to go out in it for a big meeting and I have no clue what I did with my umbrella. I usually go with the Florida wait for the shower to pass plan, but that won't work today.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Storm is moving faster than earlier, so I think they are saying snow might start around noon in DC, with the bad stuff coming towards evening. A lot of flights are preemptively cancelled and public transit shutting down early. So she might be stuck.
Yikes.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm answering email from my nice warm bed right now, with a gray cat curled up beside me, but it's time to get dressed and go make coffee and start watching for snow. And working. Right. Work. Lots of work to do.
Be safe, everyone.

My university closed today, so I'm working from home, listening to the sleet falling outside. I have pot roast in the slow cooker and birds mugging the feeder that I can see from my front window. My neighbors are home and safe, so I don't have to worry about them. It's nice and cozy, as long as the power stays on.

Good luck to all the Buffistas who are being attacked by winter. Things are pretty calm here in the Real America.
I heard some of Palin's endorsement speech of Trump and... well... that woman has a way with words.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Be safe, be happy, be good. And if you can't be good, be good enough not to get caught.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I hope everyone threatened by a blizzard is okay.
I know this is nothing compared to that, but yesterday, it was around 70. Today, it's in the 30s with a miserable wind blowing. Both my door and my trunk lid were ripped out of my hands when I opened them.

I can see a potted plant outside my window. (It's a lavender that's overwintered surprisingly well for a few years now.) And I can see the sleet pellets bouncing off of it. As long as they keep bouncing, things should be fine. I suspect there'll be a line where the sleet changes to freezing rain within 10 miles of us here, and it'll all come down to which side of the line we're on.
Eh, worst case scenario, I end up in bed snuggled with a book and a cat. There are far worse worsts than that.
