Snow Day (sort of)

Today was a snow day – kinda.

Last night and all day today we’ve been getting a mix of sleet and freezing rain totalling about 1 inch (it’s over now).

The local schools all closed.  Many local businesses had delayed openings, including the local Air Force base and IRS.  My company didn’t even do a delayed opening.

I got to work on time doing 25-45MPH on the highway.  It was quite slippery but doable.  When I got there I discovered that only 1/3 of the company had bothered to come in.  Many co-workers were “working from home”.  I hope they enjoyed the Price Is Right.

Then, at noon, the power failed.  Apparently a 30KVa line two blocks over failed.  They let us go home about 1:15pm.  Of course, those working from home have to continue working.  HAH!

Tonight we go to a Trenton Titans hockey game as long as they are still holding it (looks like it, but who knows whether the other team’s bus will make it on time).

Tomorrow I’m taking a planned vacation day for hot water heater replacement.  It’s 11 years old and the dip tube has failed (meaning the hot water stays at the bottom of the tank and you only get about 3/4 of a tub worth before it gets cold).
