Snow Day!

Snow, yes. No idea how much (the weathercritters keep changing their minds) but definitely snow -- already 2-3 inches in less than two hours, and falling hard. New Haven has declared a State of Emergency (AKA "get OFF the street, you idiot, so we can plow") which means they expect 4-5" by rush hour. The felines and I have made a nest on the sofa, there is hot cocoa made, and a pile of books to be read.

ETA: and OMG, this is so cold and cruel but FUNNY...

Meanwhile I am having a mild crisis. Springsteen tickets go on sale this Saturday for a July show at Giants Stadium. This should be a no-brainer. Bruce, on home ground. In the summer. And yet...
( a Quandry. )

weather and driving alert for the New England area...

Even if you think the road looks cleared tonight or tomorrow morning? They're predicting an inch+ of ice under the final layer of snow before it all ends tonight, so the plows are only going to be clearing down to a shimmy-layer.

Be careful out there, folks!

(ooo, Storm Team 8 is showing my neighborhood! Dude! That's my street!)

(and oh man, am I glad that the fire broke out in New Haven yesterday, not today! I shudder to think about them having to fight a 3-alarm fire in these temperatures...)
