Your 3-day forecast

[wolf]

So, I started watching for the "Not Quite the Storm of the Century" that AccuWeather told me was coming ...

It was supposed to hit at around sunset.

Sunset came and went.

Around 2100 hrs I had a bit of a lull and went outside to check ...

I thought I saw something ...



But it turned out just to be some prophyllactic salt thrown onto the bricks by our maintenance guys at around 1610. I had supervised this activity (I'm really good at annoyingly pointing out "hey, you missed a spot").

I wandered about a bit more and DID finally locate some actual snow that had accumulated by that point.

There was some by a storm drain. You have to be careful around this storm drain. It has a tendency to eat employees keys ... and by tradition, a couple of hefty guys lifts the grate, and then hold you by the ankles headfirst into the hole to recover your keys so you learn never to do this again.



I also took the opportunity to check on my car, which was pretty much covered with snow by then. You may have trouble identifying the wolfmobile here, there is an awful lot of snow!


End of shift was really not much more impressive, although there was a thin layer of really slippery stuff on the roads. I expect tomorrow AM to suck, and so am grateful that I will not be driving until tomorrow PM. The drive home would have been pretty much stress free, except for the inevitable asshole who decided that 1/4 carlength following distance was appropriate for the road conditions. And I KNEW that I had traction control and ABS and HE DID NOT. so I wasn't able to really enjoy the drive.



As I went past the PennDOT building on the way home, they were still all in there drinking coffee and getting ready. I don't expect them to really be out on the roads until there's a significant accumulation.
