Snowpacolypse 2010

So I survived the Snowpacolypse of 2010, as it has been referred to. Didn't do much of anything over the entire week off. Ate lots of food. Spent some time with friends. Did a little tiny bit of sledding and watched LOTS of movies.

Keenan and I made a pallet on the floor Saturday and basically stayed there, less work, for the week.

I enjoyed the snow storm/blizzard. There was a lot being said on the news of people experiencing cabin fever and going stir crazy, I was not among them. I found it very peaceful to stay in the apartment and watch the snow accumulate outside. Of course I also live in DC, so if I really needed to go somewhere, 7-11, grocery store, restaurant, bar...I could walk. I wasn't snowed in perhaps the same way people in the suburbs were. I could have stayed in for another week.

Also not a bad work week. Went to work today, Friday 02/12/2010, and now I have a three day weekend. :) Can't beat those hours.

I did get to go out and enjoy the snow as much as I wanted to. It was a lot more fun when I didn't really have to leave a few block radius from my apartment. Coming to work today was not as much fun. The streets are a mess, you can't really get from one side to the other and not a lot has been shoveled. Getting to and from a bus is not enjoyable.

But I wouldn't trade the week of snow for the inconvenience its created getting to work today.

They say Monday night we may get another 3-6 inches of snow. Curious to see how that plays out with the mess we already have on the ground. Another delayed start on Tuesday? We shall see.
