Yannow, this whole 'forecast' thing is a load of hooey.

Today was...well, you saw my morning's post. It was supposed to get up to 31, then start dropping back to maybe 26ish I think. It didn't come close; when I left work, it was 19 degrees out. Yeahhhhh. It was supposed to snow heavily starting late this afternoon. It still hasn't started. But it snowed, a fine, sifting, sand-like dryish snow, starting at around 9 am.

All. Day. So fine, so very fine, that even though it was visibly snowing, substantially snowing, at all times throughout the day, there was no accumulation to speak of. There were eddies of sand-fine snow swirling everywhere like a dust storm given over to bleach, though.

So cold. The kind of dry cold that sucks the life out of your skin, that's so much worse than if there were any moisture to it, and a good sharp wind, so I'm sure the wind chill was substantially worse. I did not enjoy moving from the building to the car and all.

It is now supposed to snow heavily tonight, and move into freezing rain tomorrow morning. From there it is supposed to get warmer all week.

I have no faith in this. None at all. I will simply wait, see, and act in accordance with what's known. But if it looks at all like they are saying it will, I am working from home tomorrow.

I am home and sheltered and warm and this is all very good. :)

I think we may be at that point in the year where the meteorologists and the economists trade jobs --- and no one notices the change!

Ye gods, the news is horrendous up here too.

You'd think that we were going to get a blizzard of epic length and porn star proportions. :)

It's effing cold out there, but...all this hype and it's supposed to be 40 degrees by tomorrow afternoon. :D
