Snowmageddon....
It’s Day 2 of Snowmageddon.
No, I’m not being dramatic – it’s a FACT. Mother Nature is blessing us with a
Winter Wonderland, but I’m still left wondering what’s so fantastic about snow, cold weather, whiteouts and ridiculous drivers.
By the end of day yesterday, we had received a whopping 80
cm or approximately 31 inches of snow.
Today, we are expecting another 50 cm or an additional 19
inches of snow. The end of the
world is coming.
Yesterday, I donned my toque (remember last year's lesson on Canadian clothing), mittens and boots and ventured
forth to work. Only to be told, we
were closing early.
Today, I ventured forth again. Upon arriving to work, I find there were less people there
today than there were yesterday and most of the ones that didn’t show up
actually live within the city. Once
again, we were told we were closing early.
My boss was surprised to see that I made it. I bluntly told him I was saving my snow
days for a time I could actually enjoy them…in July. He laughed.
He obviously doesn’t get my sense of humor. We’ll see who gets the last laugh in July (when I call in sick). Ha!

We still have -15c temperatures at night - but this weekend should see a positive heatwave and major thaw as temperatures rise to 3c.
Snow days? We don't get those here! If there's a problem with the buses: walk or hitch-hike! :p
I awoke to 35 degrees here in south Florida. That is a 50 degree drop since last week!!
I wonder if I can have a snow day off?
Enjoy your time off though!!
although it's easier to get around campus, it's ugly... and it's still bloody FREEZING!!! (well, below freezing actually! lol!)
