Snowmagedden!!!

OK, I can't take credit for that saying... but it's an incredible snowfall we're getting!

I woke up around 5:30 and walked out to the living room... and immediately saw a "glow." I thought, "Did I leave a light on? My TV?" Nope... it was the brightness of the snow coming from my patio!

I immediately discovered that the day would be perilous - I slipped a tad going out to get the paper.

My "commute" was a drive through the pouring snow/rain, and then a "careful" walk from my truck to the train.

Up on the 25th floor, it was an awesome sight! Watching the HUGE flakes come down, as well as the sheets of snow fall off the buildings (crashing to the ground), was an impressive (and distracting!) day.

We closed the office around 4, but I left before that. Overall, not too bad... although I slipped several times while walking on the slushy mess. THAT would have been an event had I fallen!

One thing I'm thankful for is my antennae. Last year, I got tired of my DirecTV going out during storms. So, I hooked an "over the air" antennae up in the attic (with the help of a friend) so I could always get the broadcast channels. Well, today we're having "one heck of a storm" because I'm using that instead of the dish.

So the snow is awesome... wet... big flakes... but that's it - just snow. No ice. However, tonight we're supposed to dip below freezing and it's will be a terrible commute in the morning. My office is already opening at 10AM... and I'll be working from home!
