Attack of the bee-lizards.
By which I mean we got officially upgraded to a blizzard warning! And I like bad wordplay.
I did not go into the office today - the snow had petered out a bit when I fell asleep, but I woke up around 4:00 and it was pretty bad again. The wind has been really strong (sounds like a damn tornado outside), and the roads were pretty slick. If they're mad that I didn't go in, I guess that's a tomorrow problem for me.
The view across the street. Visibility is extremely low, hence the blizzard warning.
But dogs gotta pee, so we did bundle up for a quick trip outside. The snow out back was only about knee-high on the dog, but with how much wind there is, it's hard to tell how much we've actually gotten. Maybe around a foot? Not the 5 feet of panic we were originally threatened with, but definitely on track for somewhere between 1 and 3 feet by the end.
Running!
Scooting!
He'd just faceplanted and gotten snow up his nose.
More running!
I am a little nervous about getting into the office tomorrow. I'm supposed to be training a new person, so I really need to not miss... but if this continues into tonight, I have no idea if the roads will be passable tomorrow. This whole storm was delayed, and I don't think anyone thought about it past today.
Time change hit me harder than I thought it would, and I didn't sleep well anyway, between worry about going in today and how loud the wind is, so I haven't done much with my day off.
I should try to edit a chapter of my friend's book, and maybe just marathon some reading or writing. Or try to write up my review of River of Teeth/Taste of Marrow. Gotta work through that decision paralysis. Then again... a nap sounds lovely...

I hope you're safe tomorrow no matter how things play out. Hopefully, you'll be snug at home and not dealing with any BS.

I don't think I'm in trouble for yesterday, but everyone took their douchebag pills this morning. *eyeroll*

And yeah, that does not look like the sort of visibility or conditions that you should be driving in. Do they have snow-ploughs and salting machines to keep the roads open?
no subject
It was terrible! The plows were out pretty well on the main roads (though not the side roads), but they didn't seem to be salting or sanding as much as I think would have been helpful.
