I got up at 5:30 this morning to start shoveling. Good thing, as the snow blower wouldn't start up. It took me an hour to do the driveway, not so much because there was a lot of snow (only 4-6 inches), but because it had rained and the snow was wet, heavy and icy. Some large, icy branches came off of my trees while I was shoveling.

My neighbor came by to tell me that it was all over the radio that my employer had closed all of its offices today. Kinda unusual for so little snow.

I went to work anyway. It took me 20 minutes. It's usually a 3-5 minute drive, but the wet snow made traction low so I took my time.

When I got to work there was NO ONE there. I decided to leave after half an hour. On the way out, I passed a security guard at the door that was telling people not to come in, the office was closed. She was kinda confused to see me leaving. (There was no one there when I got in.)

This is pretty unusual, I've heard stories from the old-timers that the office never even closed in the winter of '78. I'm curious as to what the reasoning will be when I get to work on Monday.

When I got back home, I found that my cable/broadband was out (just came back half an hour ago). I played Metroid Prime all day (still haven't beaten it).
