Not such a horrible thing in Chez Lane, but I feel incredibly sorry for families where both parents work away from home. I mean, from my point of view the kids missing last Friday, today, and tomorrow has mostly just resulted in an extended exercise in keeping them from blowing up the house. But what’s been a mild complication for me has been a going-on-a-week rolling disaster for some of my neighbors. I respect people who can juggle that. I’m grateful that I don’t have to.

PS: The roads really are bad, here. I mock DC for its attitude towards snow as much as the next transplantee, but we had a no-fooling blizzard and there’s nowhere to put the stuff. I got neighbors who still can’t move their cars because the snowplows had to prioritize.
Yesterday, the place I work for was Code Red status. As in: “If you aren’t emergency personnel, stay home.” Not that it mattered because we had a large wall of snow that had effectively kept my community off the road.

I’m leaving for work soon and bracing for problems.
Yeah, our whole neighborhood is blocked in, though it has made for some fun getting around the neighborhood sidewalks trench warfare style. Apparently even the main County roads are only a single lane. Trying to figure out about hitching a ride to Safeway this morning.
Fortunately, we have the school and the supermarket within walking distance.
