Here we go

Well the snow has started here. Predictions are for about a foot of snow overnight, then really nasty stuff tomorrow--storm totals in the two to three foot range with 40mph wind gusts tomorrow. Depending on the type of snow, the high wind will make shoveling an exercise in futility as whatever you clear off will get filled right back in.

I've stocked up with the key supplies (tuna, nutrigrain bars, salami, cheese, chocolate, milk, water and wine).

Also brought laptop home so I can work from here tomorrow. Whatever happened to the old-fashioned snow day? Back when I started in Corporate America (roughly the Jurassic era), if it wasn't a state of emergency you showed up at the office, on time. If the roads were closed due to a state of emergency you stayed home and somehow the corporation survived. Nowadays as long as DSL is up and the phone lines are working, I'm expected to work.

I hate working from home--my home office is my writing room. When I sit at the desk, I'm in the writing headspace. I don't want to be thinking about the day job while I'm in this place. But since this room is where the DSL connection is, I can cope with it, for the occasional snow day. But I reserve the right to be grumpy.
