When the boss comes around before 2pm and says that everyone should feel free to head home, hey, it's time to go. Took advantage of the FWDFA-induced largesse and did some food shopping (stores were not crowded). Altho I just now realized that I forgot to go over to the dairy sections and watch the milk riots. Also stopped downtown and had lunch at Toast -- a bowl of bean, pasta, escarole soup and a couple of chickpea & olive crostini. Yum.
Once the initial snow had stopped there was actually nothing falling out of the sky for most of the afternoon. Snow started up again around 4 and kept on until there was (I'm guessing) about an inch or so. At some point in the last few hours it's switched over to sleet or freezing rain or wintry mix or some such thing. Alas, it's supposed to change over to rain sometime overnight so I expect it'll just be cold, wet and muddy by tomorrow. Whee...
