It is Thursday morning, and it is still snowing. The snow hasn't stopped or even lightened since Wednesday night. So far the totals coming in for Boulder are 17 inches of snow, and considering it is still snowing, the final total will be even higher when all is said and done. It is supposed to keep snowing throughout the afternoon and into this evening, so we'll see where we are in the end. Although I'm sure it is a mess on the roads out there, it sure is absolutely beautiful to see from the safety and warmth of my apartment. Everything is pure white, and there are thick layers of snow on the branches of the trees outside my apartment. Some of the branches are bending precariously under the weight of the snow, and I'm surprised that none of them have snapped yet.
Because the weather is still bad, our offices are closed again, and everyone seems grateful for that. I think that it has been obvious over the past few weeks (and months) that everyone was in need of a break and some time off. It's almost nice to be forced to take time off like this. (And it is nice to be forced to take time off and have it not be a furlough that affects our paychecks!) Hopefully it will give everyone a chance to rest, relax, and recharge. Even though the snow is supposed to end tonight, the mess usually carries over into the next day or two. Our offices may or may not be officially closed, but the e-mail announcement that came out today said that because the weather has been so bad, Friday might be a wash too. Hopefully that means we can have another day off or, at the very least, a partial workday.
Current mood: resting and relaxing
Current music: iTunes on shuffle—Gavin DeGraw "Chariot"
Current drink: orange juice (building up my immunity, because you just know someone in the office is going to get sick after all of this!)
