Snow Day

Today we’re supposed to get 9 inches of snow in north Texas, which seems quite a bold prediction. It does seem to have the local population in a bit of a tizzy, though. Kind of funny, because when we lived in Kansas City this type of forecast seemed to happen several times every winter. Here, people loot the grocery stores like the end times are imminent. Fortunately, I work from home. That means I can avoid the craziness of going anywhere and having to deal with several million people who don’t know how to drive in snow. Having a snow day is no big deal, unless of course the power goes out. I recall very few snow days during my school years, mainly because snow was a rare occurrence in the desert of southern New Mexico, and even fewer times where we got out of school for the day. We’ll see what happens today, but I’d be surprised if we got as much snow as they think we will.

I have work commitments next week, so my next post will likely be on the 21st. Until then, stay warm.
