Lots of snow

[redbird]

Yes, 19 inches (48 cm) is a lot of snow for one storm. But I can't remember the city suspending all bus service, for anything. Closed schools and no trash collection because all the garbage trucks are busy plowing the streets, yes.

Along with this, my office has a delayed opening at noon, with the strong suggestion to work from home if possible instead. Thumb drives mean I can easily tuck my current project in a pants pocket, so it's definitely possible.

A bit later, I need to call my trainer and see whether we can reschedule for tomorrow or even Saturday, rather than me schlepping downtown just for that. Or, alternatively, ask her, if I do make it downtown, will she be available as scheduled? (This depends on how I'm feeling in a bit; the air is close to freezing, and I can grab a larger daypack, carry my gym shoes, and wear boots. Though these aren't boots for deep snow; they're good against cold and slush, and a few inches of snow at a time.

cattitude, who has much higher boots, has gone in, so it's just me and julian_tiger here. The little cafe downstairs is open, and has baked, so I will be having a blueberry muffin for second breakfast. (I expected they'd be open, because the owner lives in this building, but I was less confident of the baking.)

*hug* Have a nice warm day at home, love.

My day is oddly not disrupted. Schools are closed, but the office where I have an 11:00 appointment will be open by then. And the recording studio has delayed opening until 1:00, but I wasn't planning to go in until 1:30...so I expect I'll hardly notice.

One noteworthy thing about this year's weather is that the word "snowpocalypse" seems to have entirely replaced "snowstorm" and "blizzard" in local use. I don't even think I've heard "snow day" this winter, though people entangled with schools might still be using it.

There were parts of the city where significant amounts of Boxing Day snow were still semi-obstructing the streets. The MTA wanted, more than anything, to avoid more "passengers stranded in stalled buses" stories.

Man, this is a lot of snow. And it's even worse out on Long Island....
