Tuesdaily with weather
Feb. 22nd, 2011 09:38 amExcitement! Snow! Programming! My usual life, with more weather.
The official snow count was 18.5 inches at the airport. We had drifts of at least 22 inches, because it was rolling over the top of the snow-blower cowling. It took a few hours to clear our 600 foot driveway, but we were able to do so, and get into town on time. My muscles are protesting the abuse.
Driving, I found there were a few places where I had to guess at the location of the road thanks to white-on-white blowing snow, and mostly I did okay... there was one frightful pass on a little-traveled road where I had to keep up a good clip to keep from bogging down because it hadn't been plowed at all, and it was wiggly, squishy travel. I blew off the stop sign at the end of that road, because I was quite sure that if I came to a complete stop, I was not going to be able to get going again. And YES, there just happened to be a cop directly behind me, and yes, he did pull me over, but he was very nice and when I sheepishly explained that yes indeed, I had done that, and why, he just told me I needed to do better, ran my license to make sure I wasn't a serial killer, and let me go. *facepalm*
I want to get nominations for the Sketch Fest prizes for this round up and going... and I've got some client work, and I want to get commission-control to the next stage of beta-testing, plus some writing. :) Whee!
I have a new story up at Torn World: Darkening Skies. Have a taste of it!
