Off work tomorrow due to the freezing overnight.  May go in later Thursday once the sun can get out and melt some of this for good.  Definitely have to work Saturday :(

Let me elaborate on the Alabama insanity.  The Governor declared a weather emergency before the first flake hit the ground.  The schools closed, the universities closed, etc.... before the first flake hit the ground.  In Auburn we got 2-3 inches and at 11:00am almost all has melted off the pavement.  Ground is covered which is to me the best type of snow - looks great and not dangerous.

Having come from at least a somewhat snow region (Western NC) the Alabama snow response is amazing.  I am afraid of other drivers when there is actual snow & ice on the road since they don't know how to drive in it.

And....  There goes the power. Per Duke, caused by downed trees should be back on in about 3 hours.

Ok so whatever you think Toonces would do in this situation, do the opposite and you should be fine.

Freeze Warning here. I may get to use the fireplace again. And... where's that damned 'Heat' button on the thermostat again?

Whatevz.  I'm pretty sure I'm the poster child for winter coping mechanism success.
