The nor'easter, which utterly failed to behave as predicted, did wind up getting pretty serious from about 6 a.m. until about, oh, the last half-hour or so. We've got more than six inches of snow out there and it's beautiful. It'd be more beautiful if I were watching it from home, but ah well. It's already only a four-day week for me.

( Let me do a quick weekend summary here. )

What's this, a weekend update? I don't think I ever did one last week (to sum up: last weekend, I didn't do much), and that obviously has to change. I mean, really.

Weather icon: because it is snowing intermittently, and may snow more. Time to watch the skies!

( Also I don't have a 'pen' icon, or a 'Philadelphia' icon... )

It's snowing, rather a lot. And it's so pretty! I had to drive up to Hunt Valley to drop something off at a client site (well technically I was supposed to install the program on her computer, but she doesn't have administrative rights, so she's going to have to call me back later if installing it herself causes her too much difficulty which...you ( Read more... )

That's a lot of things for one little Wednesday. But yes, it's Officially Snowing, meaning the first day of the new season where I am officially on my knees in gratitude that I don't have to commute to Bethesda anymore ( Read more... )

Busy Monday! Maybe I'll update from home later, or maybe not, as I have cleaning to do. And I have to watch last week's Heroes before, uh, this week's.

Client site visit in Hunt Valley wound up taking all afternoon. Windy, fascinating tempestuous clouds, and the first spits of snow of the season. And now, it's time to go the heck home. More to

It's a bit busy at work, so I will have to do the fabled bullet-point update. But for the sensitive, I will even put this tid-bit ( behind a cut. )

Before I blather about the snow and the various commutes, allow me to share what Rob has to say today ( Read more... )

Please allow me an "in my day" moment: In my day, we would totally have had to go to school on a day like this. There's hardly any snow out there. I mean, there is enough to make things pretty, which I appreciate. But good heavens. A two-hour delay, I can see. But cancellations? Also, WAMU toyed with me this morning - when I was halfway to work, ( Read more... )

Last night I went to bed praying for snow, so that the government would close and I could have an extra day to laze about, clean the house some, and do massive amounts of online Christmas shopping.

Awaking at 5 a.m. I looked outside. Pfft! So much for three to six inches! Well, I mean. We did get three, maybe. But I always have expectations ( Read more... )

Yes, it's Aught-Three and we've got a winter for the record books, AND an amusing story for the grandkids. Or, barring grandkids, any small children I can wave a cane at menacingly in about 50 years or so. At any rate, it made for a memorable weekend. Because we all know I can get longwinded, take a gander at my ( snow tales below! )
