kageotogiThe snowpocalypse is upon us.
I think the grand total this weekend was somewhere between twenty-six and thirty inches of snow here in Baltimore, and the NWS is calling for another 10-20 between tomorrow and Wednesday. So that's fun.
The entire street banded together on Sunday to dig out our street, and I think I met more of my neighbors then than I have since I moved in. Which is pretty awesome. Also, it meant my street was a little less of a hazard; I ventured out Sunday night to pick up some Thai food (drunken noodles, wine, and the Superbowl: a good combination), and it was easily the clearest street in the neighborhood -- including the main road! So that's awesome, although I'd rather not have to go out and do it again tomorrow night or Wednesday.
Thai food aside, I'll admit there's a little bit of cabin fever going on here on my end. I actually tried to get to work this morning but got my car stuck trying to get to a main street. Thank goodness for the kindness of strangers! It took about an hour, but they got me out of there and I went home. I'm working from home again tomorrow, although I'm hoping I can at least get to the main road so I can get the kittens to the vet, since tomorrow is their Big Day. I'm pretty sure I can get there. If the snow starts at noon, though, I'm a little bit concerned as to whether or not I can safely get them home.
We'll see how this goes. Right now I'm pretty sure I'm not going to make it to the office until Friday, at the very earliest (or until Spring. Whatever is easiest). Fingers crossed that that isn't in fact the case. I mean, I like snow, but this is a little too much all at once.
I need a kitten icon. Note to self.

Date: 2010-02-09 02:56 pm (UTC)We're supposed to get a foot or snow or more tomorrow (actually, starting at midnight tonight), so I'll be able to commiserate with you then. Punishment for my gloating last time? Maybe.
Do you feel anything like Punxatawney Phil at the prospect of not going to the office until spring?
I posted that Sanzo/Gojyo story. Someone complimented me on the first part (who knew? I was beginning to think I should have just skipped straight to the kink/smut), but the general consensus was "Guh. Hot!" The artist/birthday girl liked it, which is good.
Have a kitteh. She's taken to sleeping in the sink above the heat vent in the master bathroom.
