There are few days that I am glad I don’t have a job, but today is definitely one of them. Another 6–8” of snow is expected by this afternoon and the highways are a mess, even though the road crews are doing a great job of trying to stay on top of it. It should be really interesting coming home this afternoon for everyone. Right now it’s snowing, but late this afternoon (here on the coast at least) it’s supposed to change to sleet and freezing rain. Oops—there goes the power! Thankfully we have a whole day’s worth of UPS power available—one of the only things that remains from my old server room.
The good news is that we may have a good opportunity to make another snowman this afternoon, before the precipitation changes from snow to sleet and rain. Johann’s snowman from about two weeks ago is still out there, although it is somewhat emaciated after the heat wave of the past few days. He seems to lose weight the same way I have been—face and neck then gut. Oh, well. Considering the temperature this should be a good snow for making another snow man, and beefing up the old one.
