Hey, where's the white death?

Firstly: My wife wanted me to mention to all that I have changed the setting to allow anyone to post a reply to this blog. It was a setting buried deep within the blog's settings that I did not know about when I first set this thing up. So, now, if you want to post a reply, you do not have to be a member of "Blogger" to do so. Of course, if you are working for the same people that I am working for, you will not be able to reply at all due to our surf Nazi program. For some reason it equates posting a response to going into a "chat channel." Whatever, I don't want hear what you people say anyway.

Secondly: On to today's topic...

It seems that the weather models predicted way more snow here than actually landed. We were warned about 17 feet of snow with polar bears and yetis attacking people who ventured outside, but we got 4 inches of snow over the course of 48 hours instead. Oh well, I was getting geared up for taking on a yeti. One of these days I will wear a yeti as a coat. Oh yes, I will wear a yeti as a coat. A warm coat of yeti fur will be my protection from the elements. So it shall be written, so it shall be done. Maybe the next computer predicted snowstorm will actually produce yetis for the slaying. Oh well...

So we dodged the white death one more time. Even though we dodged the snow that just beat the crap out of the Northeast, most of the schools around here are either closed today or delayed in their start. I assume it is due to the cold temperatures, because the roads are fairly clear and pretty much ice free. Or are teachers just not that hearty? Granted they do have a job that is the equivalent of herding cats, but their work year is 1/4 th shorter than other professionals. The shortened time frame, should make up for the constant head ache of dealing with children. Then again, it could just be that the principals don't like getting up in cold cold winter mornings. I say, "Suck it up, Buttercup, no one likes getting up on cold cold mornings."

Okay enough bitterness from me, I have work that needs to get done anyway.
