Snow!

10 to 12 inches of snow fell yesterday.

At lunch we drove up the highway to a mexican place, clear skies. We walked out to 2 inches and the highway in gridlock.

Got back to the office and Dancer took her car home at 2pm. I left at 2:45pm.

To say it was busy is a massive understatement - it was gridlock *EVERYWHERE* with 2 inchs of snow falling each hour.

Cars, trucks, plows all skidding around.

I got home at 8pm.
Dancer got home at 9pm.

I had to blow the knee high snow off the drive before I could even get off the road.


Today?

Clear skies, clear roads, warm and sunny. Well, 40f feels warm.

It's the office party tonight - while it's on-site, it's not cheesy, they bring in a professional company who sets up a bunch of gambling tables and everyone is given free "money" to play with all night. Last year there was kareoke, this year there is a DJ.

Catered food, open bar, people dress up.

We've booked a room in the hotel over the road for the night, so we can both enjoy some drinks and not worry about the hour drive back home - our friend is staying over with the dogs.

Tomorrow we've got to hit the mall in the morning and take our iMac back to the Apple store - it's power supply died recently, and it doesn't boot up any more - considering it's out iTunes / music server for the house, this is a problem! Happily, everything is on an external drive if it is dead.

Then we get home, grab some shopping, because an even bigger storm is supposed to be hitting us on Saturday night. More snow, just what we need. We're not going anywhere on Sunday!
