Goddamned snow days

Not here. Here, it's 35 but steadfastly dry. But in DC, where a lot of my friends and colleagues are located, it started snowing mid-morning. With it came an avalanche of increasingly-jubiliant emails of people having to leave early due to "travel concerns." Nah-huh. Or those who are ready to get a five freaking day weekend. Sigh.

I on the other hand have to figure out where I put my hat and gloves. The Texan loves this weather as he gets to finally sport the black leather duster he got while in Thailand last year. A jacket like that is useless 99 percent of the year here, but by god it fits the bill that one percent of the time.
