Waiting for the snow
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009 09:06 am...not nearly as amusing as waiting for Godet, but we take what we can get.
The first Big! Storm! of the season is moving upcoast (it's snowing in Lewiston! in Leeds! in Greene and in Brunswick!), and everybody's a little jazzed. I understand that ozone contributes to Storm Joy in some folks (I'm one of them) but I wonder what it is about a snowstorm that gets everybody perking.
The early call from the weatherbeans is 10 to 14 inches before we're all done, sometime early tomorrow morning. Listening to the radio coming into work; it sounds like every public school in the state and pretty much all the colleges have preemptively canceled classes. The day-job never cancels classes, because it's a residential college, and Admin rarely sends staff home, which is precisely why Rolanni purchased the little green Subaru. I hope I'll be able to get into my driveway when I do get home.
How's the weather where you are?
11:10 a.m. Edited to add: Steve reports cars off the road on the way home -- including one person who went through the barbed wire into a cow pasture; and another who had taken out a phone pole. As of this writing, he is home and in for the Duration.
