alicebentleyToday is Thursday, and the day I normally hop in the car and journey over the water to do office-like things at Studio Foglio.
But yesterday's snow is now coated with a crust of ice, and tiny ice pellets continue to fall, making a wonderful susurration if I was willing to stand there with the door open (which I am not).
So I already called in, and we'll do stuff tomorrow instead, after what is expected to be a solid night of melting.
Saw this just now on the local message board:
"There is a tree across Vashon Highwy just north of Inspiration point.
The snow plow is stuck in a ditch at the corner of Wax Orchard Rd. and 220th."
Hmmm. Snow plow stuck in the ditch. Good call I think!

Date: 2012-01-20 04:11 pm (UTC)We are supposed to get 1-4 inches of snow this afternoon, and 1-3 inches tomorrow, and then on Sunday the forecast is for 35° and rain — which means the roads will be slicker than snot. My consolation is that Spring is only 2 months away.

We need tractors ALL the time (falling trees) (and trees that haven't fallen yet, but ought to).
