Yes, I'm sure you're all sick of the weather updates.

The drive home was clear. They are still not making their minds up about what it is going to do where we are. At the elevation my parents are at, as pheon posts, it's looking like they'll get enough to be worth taking note of.

Note that when I say the drive home was clear, I am being relative here. The slick spots were all in parking lots and driveways, or on the edge of the road, not where you were trying to drive. This is clear enough for me.

If the pessimists are right then I will work from home tomorrow as the roads will be yucky. If the realists or optimists are right, I will go into the office. Either way, after that I have Thursday and Friday off. Which is good because the weathermen cannot make up their minds about those either.

It is pretty, really. And it's kind of funny how very chaotic a little bit of snow can make us. It seems less unusual to me because I grew up with it; we do not get snow often and most of the folks here either never knew or have forgotten how to drive in it. And our tendency to linger around thaw when we do get freezing weather means that it is actually pretty treacherous since it will often (as it did yesterday, bless it) melt just enough to refreeze into ice or an ice crust. Or sit as slush all day long....
