Over the past couple of days the temperature has shifted from hovering around 5°F (-15°C) for the high and -15°F (-26°C) for the low, to suddenly being in the high 30’s (2 to 3°C) with a very light drizzle. What that does to all the snowpack on the roadways is in no way pretty. (Think of how a zamboni prepares the ice for a skating rink.)
Anyhow, all the local schools are closed due to the icy road conditions. I wasn’t aware that the University would be closed, however, until after I got here, and got settled into my desk and ready to crack at another week. But, since I have just gotten the call from higher up I guess I can call it a day. Whew! I never thought I’d have to work a whole day in 12 minutes! And to think – I left early because I knew the roads were bad and spent almost 40 minutes getting here!
I think I may just stay for an hour or three and get some things done. At least the phone won’t be ringing off the hook today!
