I made it to the eye doc and out again before there was more than an inch or so on the ground. Traffic was heavy then but no cars are driving past our house now.

Feeling a little cooped up now, but I went for a 3 mile walk this morning before it all hit, so it could be worse.

15 minute commute took a hour and a half. Norton in a pickup truck ahead of me kept trying to drive sideways.

Moron, not Norton. The updated predictive text doesn't predict me well yet.

Thank you, apartment complex, for not plowing anything, especially the empty upper parking lot where I am now parked on ten inches of Virgin snow. Probably more, as my undercarriage did not clear it.

I liked Norton better. Norton sounds like every typical idiot you've ever known.

When I was little, my mom called every bad driver "Manuel." It wasn't until I was an adult that I realized she was being racist.
