Hold On Newt.....

.....cuz we're into it now, fer sure.

Ah, damn - Blogger isn't allowing me to upload pictures. But just so you can envision just what it looks like stare at the screen below for a few moments and you'll see what I'm seeing from my window.













There now, that is pretty much it.

I'm seriously debating whether to go to work tonight. It is just a little over 20 km but that can seem like forever in these conditions. Why risk life and limb getting there only to face a worse trip home in the morning? Huh? Would you?

I'm already planning what all to take with me in case it is too bad to try driving home - a change of clothes, extra meds, clean-up gear, storm gear - high heavy boots and heavy down filled coat, a shovel. Damn. Insanity to be sure.

so what are the employment factors when you live in a snowbound place?
is that sort of weather grounds for not attending the workplace

we have more issues with heatwaves here, if it's over 37 in our office, we're allowed to go home. My end of the building has no airconditiong so i get to go home first!

Well Kel - Mgmt couldn't have argued with a decision like that but it also wouldn't have been highly thought of. It can be grounds especially when the authorities are asking people to stay home and off the roads.

Around here it's a good mix of urban, suburban and rural with a very good road system. Well maintained.

I made it in alright although it took longer cuz I took it slow. We went out on the bus to a meeting as planned - a little adventure.

A heat wave sounds good right about now except we'd all drown in the run-off from the melting snow. LOL.
