The Year in Pictures - 1/18

Here’s the thing about snow…

I like it fine, but I don’t like what happens when it snows.

And that is that the world, at least locally, descends into varying degrees of chaos.

Today was pretty mild. There were some accidents and messy traffic this morning, but that’s about it. If we’d had twice that amount, it would have been Thunderdome out there. Not a loaf of bread, carton of milk, or battery to be found in a three-county radius.

I’ve also never worked anywhere that was capable of making a quick decision about whether they’re going to close. In today’s case, work made no acknowledgment of the weather whatsoever, which is fine, because today wasn’t bad. My problem is when you know they’re going to have to close, but they take their time doing it, and they finally tell you to go home at like 3 or 4.

Gee, thanks.
