So it’s crazy here when it snows. For one thing, a lot of the roads aren’t really flat, so people go sliding around. For another thing, we only get this every few years, so there’s no reason to be prepared for it all the time. And yet another problem: the weather forecasters here have no idea what they’re talking about. The last few times the said we’d get snow, we got nothing. Last night they said we’d get a couple of inches maybe and it would be gone by noon.

I didn’t get a very good nights sleep last night and I woke up feeling like doodie, but when I looked outside I knew my trip to work would be delayed.

It turns out the roads were a mess and there was no way anyone was making it to work. If you go to our local news station’s web site you can check out a video of a Volvo SUV sliding down the hill and hitting five cars on the way down.

So I just stayed inside until I decided it was time to shovel the walk. Sounds like it’s not going to be any better tomorrow, so I’m not going anywhere.

I did go for a walk to the food co-op with the neighbors, and I did shovel the walk. I did not make it to the gym, but I’m not even sure they were open. That makes it a week-and-a-half since I’ve been to the gym. I wonder if I’m losing weight.
