Ice?

Tonight the meteorologists (and weather people) are concerned we may get freezing rain or sleet, rather than snow.

While I still lived in Huntsville, AL, in middle school, we got for more than a week because of a huge ice storm. We were fortunate in that our power stayed on for all but a part of a day, but many areas particularly in the northwest of the state went days without electricity. And I seem to recall that that time too the meteorologists had difficulty predicting ice.

Fortunately I don't have to worry about driving in this weather. If it is icy tomorrow morning I'll wear duck boots to work, but otherwise I should be fine.

Finally, I have no plans for Valentine's Day. But hopefully I'll manage to avoid wailing and lamentations.

Cold

It's so cold outside that I'm walking crazy fast to and from work every day. I haven't had to break down yet to take the bus but I have been walking very quickly to the closest point I can go underground and out of the wind all the rest of the way to work (You can walk all the way underground from 12th and Locust to Suburban Station.)

At work we've been limited to 40 hours, so I've been having my weekends free. Friday I checked out the galleries in Old City for First Friday. Saturday I got my taxes done, and on Sunday got to hang out with Tom to watch the football game.

And now, since I want to get into work early so I can head off to the IVC's First Wednesday tomorrow, I think I'm going to bed at the outragously early hour of 10 PM.
