Where's my snowstorm?
Last night we got a message at work saying that in honor of the "snowstorm" be sure to check out the employee emergency hotline in case we might be closed. I laughed out loud when I read it...we had a full out blizzard last year where it took me half an hour to leave my apartment lot and the office still wasn't closed. If I think they're gonna close for three inches of snow I'd be pretty stupid.
The weather reports were bragging about a possible foot of snow and so far we've had nothing. I just checked weather underground and their estimate is "3 to 5 inches." How, exactly, is this a snow storm? I understand the winter weather warning in the counties which are ACTUALLY expected to get the weather, but why put it up for MY county? Cleveland's a pretty big metro region.
I know I'm bitching, partly because it's what I do best and partly because I woke up early to see if I needed to dig myself out and now I'm feeling disappointed in myself for being so gullible. I would like a really bad few days where we have a snow emergency so no one has to drive and we can all sit in our houses and eat everything in our fridges. I miss that part of childhood. Being an "adult" sucks in so many ways, not the least of which is the expectation that you will do the unpleasant things just because they are responsible.
So where's my huge snowstorm already? Bring it on, Lake Erie! I'm two blocks south of you. This is quite pathetic. Let's see what you've got.
