Like many people who have also posted on livejournal today, this morning I woke up to yet another pile of snow on my world. Insult was added all day long, as snow turned to sleet, to graupel, to ice pellets, to freezing rain, to snizzle, and finally merely cold rain. It was a great day to exercise the privilege of autonomy of my job, and stay indoors as much as possible, working on the tick presentation I'll be giving next week.
