Weather Associated Phenomena
Feb. 13th, 2007 06:10 pmWe got three or four inches of snow last night - on top of the several inches we already had - and it's been sleeting all day. Thus,
* "ALL CLASSES COMMENCING AT OR LATER THAN 2:30 PM CANCELED." See, if they'd done that one hour earlier, I would have gotten my first snow day off since high school. The library's closing at exactly 7:00, though, which is precisely when I was supposed to be there. (I'm actually kind of annoyed about that part; I needed those hours.)
This email was sent at 2:32.
* Internet's twitchy. Who knows if this will be posted today!
* Some people ran their SUV into the guardrail right near the dorm, right in the busiest intersection. The bumper was pretty smashed, but no one got hurt. The guardrail was undamaged. It's made of wood, which amuses me for some reason. Hummer should make a wooden version of their penis extender. No, actual wood. Think how many dudes insecure about their Americanasculinity would buy a wooden Hummer. There could be versions with wolf-related landscapes carved into them.
* I had to buy groceries today. Yes, definitely had. It's not because I wanted to go into town (in spite of the danger of getting hit by a skidding SUV) and see how messed-up everything looked and watch the streets nearly empty with the few cars there are going really slowly, which I always think is awesome.
So I went to buy groceries. My coat, backpack, and headphones all got covered with a sort of film of ice after a few minutes. Most of the sidewalks hadn't been shoveled, and because the snow has been melting and refreezing over and over the past couple weeks, there's multiple layers of ice crusts under there. I was never totally sure when I was walking on pavement and when it was ice - sometimes I'd take a step and find my foot had gone down two inches further than I'd expected.
HAHAHA it was great.
* The grocery store closed early, too. The cashiers were annoyed with me for packing my stuff into my backpack rather than just letting them put it in bags. Look, I did need that stuff to make it up to the dorm intact...
* There was a little girl pulling a grocery bag home on her little toboggan. She was insanely cute. She was not unaware of this, and said "hi" to everyone she passed so they would have time to notice that she was pulling a grocery bag home on her little toboggan.
* There were also parents hauling two very excited little boys on their little toboggans, which sadly immediately lost its Cutest Thing Of The Day status when I saw the girl.
* On the way back up the hill, one of the snowplow guys passed me, going very quickly and yelling "Wooooo-hoooooo!"
