aaaaaaaaargh

When you open your front door in the morning, step outside and land with a thump in thigh-deep snow, one would hope the day can only get better.

edit morning classes are at least cancelled. And my adorable professor just got a little more adorable; on Friday he was delivering a lecture about prospectivity: "And we see the judicial restraint on the subject" - cue fire alarm - "...and I'll see you all on Monday." Long pause, while we all look at him blankly, and he said patiently, "We'll do ten more minutes on prospectivity at the beginning of next class, and then we'll move onto retroactivity, and now we'll flee the building."

This morning he's merely said: then fire now ice, with apologies to Robert Frost; enjoy the day.

I am going to go and file my taxes, get some coffee and growl.

Agreed. Went out with the dog this morning, and the snow was so deep she couldn't even walk in it. Even if the university opens for evening classes, I am making an executive decision and not going. Because mountaineering/sled dog abilities are not part of my dog's job description.

Winter... It can leave any time now.

There are four steps up to my front door! I have no idea where they even are!

Gleep! And now they're probably covered in skitey bits beneath all the snow, too.
