Jan. 28th, 2010 04:18 pmYay, I am at home where it is warm and there is electricity! Work gave us the option of taking a vacation day or a day without pay and I chose the latter. Fortunate because there was a lot of freezing rain earlier this morning and it is sleeting really hard now. I think there is supposed to be snow later, but now it is just really, really icy.
Hopefully, the ice won't bring down too many powerlines around here (though it has in some places) and I can occupy myself with lots of cross stitch and watching Supernatural later. Since the local news has been harping on the ice storm for the past week, everyone is pretty well prepared. The grocery was pretty crowded when I went shopping on Monday and one of my coworkers told me yesterday that places are pretty stripped bare. I wish I had thought to buy some booze, a bottle of wine or mixed drinks would have been nice. I will have to make do with tea instead.
eta: I feel the need to point out that it was sunny and 60 degrees out yesterday.
