Snow day!

Wow... did the world end while I was asleep?

Once upon a time, the rule of thumb for my work was that if the county didn't call a Snow Emergency, the office wouldn't close.

Well, the county hasn't (yet) declared an emergency but I just called our emergency line at work and the office is closed. Just heard the Hamilton County Sheriff on TV, though, and he's anticipating that a snow emergency will be declared as the morning continues. Snow's actually not bad out yet, but it's wet and slick and we're expecting it to continue pretty much all day. The line for the blizzard warning is just barely north of my house, and the snow's starting to drift already. I'm extremely glad that this waited 'til we were safely home from Chicago before starting.

Woohoo! Last night I stocked up on smoked turkey and cheese so I've got sandwich fixiings. There's dogfood, catfood, and I bought extra cat litter ('cause being stuck at home with the cats and no way to clean the boxes would be _bad_). I'm going back to bed now...

they closed my school for a Snow Day as well. It does not look bad out at all (in fact things look fairly manageable), so I keep expecting the school to call and say, "Haha! Just kidding..."

We've reached the "freezing rain" portion of our itinerary for the day. Yay. I think this, and the limited visibility caused by the blowing-about of the 8 inches or so already on the ground, is why they opted for so many closed schools and closed businesses today in Indy. It's not that we couldn't have made it to work or school... it's that the roads by going-home time would have been a whole lot of no-fun.

I'm off to shovel some more, and play with the dogs.
