Snow-and-ice-mageddon?
We've known for a few days that weather was coming. How it arrived was anyone's guess. We're in a quiet point right now, but yesterday it was up in the 50s and started raining heavily after I got home around 7:30 PM. Alas, temps are dropping and we should be in single digits overnight. A number of schools have preemptively closed or switched to e-learning, because as the office manager said, it's not necessarily getting the kids to school, it's getting them home, too, that could be the issue. Precip should return around that time; we've been told the evening rush could be special.
Meanwhile, tonight is supposed to be Fancy Band's recording session. DW reached out to me last night to say the manager may not come in today and he could likely handle things by himself. However, he was supposed to do client visits today, and I guess that's not happening. My boss has been dealing with family stuff this week and will be out of town today through next Monday (nobody died, nothing like that), so I've been in Work All the Hours mode, bleah. There is a work thing this Saturday that I still need to prep for, so between that and Fancy Band, I'm still planning on going in. I will have stuff to do and I will be far closer to band from work than home.
Dr. K did send out a few emails this week. Monday, he broke the news that we won't be recording the symphony this time around as we've had too many personnel changes to comfortably do it at this time. We'll still perform it at the concert, but as our final cycle is due to be a bit lighter, we'll keep working on it and record it then. And, our recording date for the next cycle changed to a week earlier, I think it was (I've only been skimming emails this week), due to some sort of date conflict. Then he sent a second email saying, we'll still run through the symphony this week since, again, our concert is next week and we need to work on it. He added something like, yes, I'm working on and sending all this out on Valentine's Day evening; read into that what you will. I replied, it's because you love our band! Then last night, noting the potential weather situation, he emailed again to say we could start late, we could end early, we could cancel altogether; he'd email again today around 3 PM when we had a better idea of what we'll be dealing with. So, my day could be interesting. Yay.
