I've been awake since 3ish (computer updating woke me up again. One of these days, I'll just learn to shut the damned thing down on Tuesdays and Wednesday nights), been up since 5:15ish, helped Haley rediscover our driveway as it was buried under 18 inches of snow and she was supposed to be at work by 6. That didn't happen - our road still hasn't been plowed, so despite our driveway clearing, it wouldn't have done her much with her little 2 wheel drive sedan. Thankfully, Coyote has 4 wheel drive and pretty much eats snow up to about 20 inches (or whatever his undercarriage clearance is) for breakfast, so we were able to get her to work only a half hour or so late. It involved me doing some fancy driving in the driveway so my car was facing forward, and then just gunning it into the road until I made it to the thankfully plowed street about a half a block away from the house. Good times.
Pretty much every public school district in Wisconsin is closed, including a lot of the tech and two-year colleges. Stevens Point is still up and running, but I imagine there will be quite a few canceled classes. Not that it matters much on my end seeing as I have my rock climbing final today, and I have a bunch of homework and studying to do, so I'll be on campus anyway. Thank you, Stevens Point public transportation system! I really don't envy all you bus drivers at all.
Also, I really wish I could go back to bed. Darned 9:00 class.

Um... The Wisconsin Governor has just ordered all state agencies closed for today - including UW campuses. Wow. I don't know if that's ever actually happened before.
But yay, I don't have to go to school!
end of semester,
