01/10/2007: "Some Storm"

Some Storm

All day we heard about this horrific storm on its way last night. There was snow, wind (of course), and ice predicted. In the afternoon the wind picked up and it began to rain and even sleeted a bit. Then it stopped and the sun came out. But the predictions were adament that the storm was still coming. I had plans for the evening, all the while hoping that the power didn't go out. Came out from the movie and nothing was really going on. Decided to get gas, despite fighting the temptation to not stop, just in case because I didn't want a repeat of last time. By then it was kind of snowing. Then it stopped. Then it started again. Then it stopped again. We were encouraged to take our laptops home so that we could still work in case of inclement weather, so by then I was hoping we got enough snow that I could work from home. I woke up...not really much snow, although there was ice. So I stayed home. They're still predicting snow and ice. I knew this would happen. We were kinda blindsided by the last big storm...I mean, they knew it was coming, but I never heard that it was going to be as bad as it was. It just figures that when they predict a near Armegeddon, there's barely anything. Oh well, it's a good day to work from home since it's pretty slow.
