Snowbound.....

Only one song worth listening to today. The inimitable Donald Fagen with Snowbound.

Re: Snowbound.....

Got to my office this morning (6 story building so probably a good ~80 people in here typically), and there was only one pair of footprints leading up to the door... So we'll see how busy it is. Might be a quiet day around here.

Re: Snowbound.....

Not a lot here yet, it's still on the way.  I can't decide whether I'm disappointed that it's happening on a day I was already off, so I might miss out on a snow day, or happy because it means there is no chance I have to go out in that weather.

Re: Snowbound.....

Ottawa got a few centimetres overnight but we're expecting another 20cm or so throughout the day.  This afternoon's commute could be fun.

 

One of my coworkers took a day off to go ice fishing.

In Milton ( a-ha I hear you say!)  at about 8 inches right now, but coming down hard. My wife headed into Mississauga a couple of hours ago, she tells me it was chaos, 1.5 hours to make a 25 minute journey. 

Hunker down and ride it out is what I'm doing.  Meanwhile some of our posters from places where real snow falls for six months of the year, are shaking their heads and calling me names!

It's a fine day to be in the studio...I'll say that much.

 

And yes....a-ha entered a lobe.

For Toronto? Yea, it's pretty bad.


Compared to Ottawa, and I'm sure the Prairies though... it's not all that bad lol, so it's relative. I got in at about ~8AM, it's been snowing ever since, and when I was outside there had probably already been ~10-15cm compared to yesterday.

It looks like we're going to miss the snow part of this double storm here in South Jersey.  Our daughter called from suburban Boston this morning and she's been told not to come in and work from home.  She's planning to attend the Bolts-Bruins game Saturday afternoon.  Tampa has a game in Boston Saturday and NYC Sunday.  Good luck!

Re: Snowbound.....

Get all the bad snow storms out of the way before the 17th, when I grace Ontario with my majestic prescence, please.

 

Really- I don't want to get snowed in in Orleans.
