Yesterday our office was closed because of the bad weather. We didn't have a blizzard and we really didn't get much snow. It did get really cold, however. Temperatures were well below zero for most of the day, and with the wind chill it felt like -25 degrees. The local school district closed the schools because of safety concerns, and, because of that, our office was also closed. Even though we have nothing to do with the school district, we have an unusual rule that if the schools are closed, most likely our office will be closed. I'm not going to argue with the logic, because it was really nice to stay in and work from home for the day. Things were still really cold and a bit icy outside, so I was happy to stay inside and off the roads.
All day yesterday, I was checking the school district's website to see if the schools would be closed. I've never been so eager for a school closing since I was a kid! Late in the afternoon, it was finally posted that the schools would be closed. And late last night, it was finally announced that our office was also closed. When I woke up this morning (after sleeping in an extra hour), the temperature was about -11, and the wind chill made things feel like -30. Temperatures, however, are going in the positive direction. We're finally at 5 degrees. Yes, that's still extremely cold, but it's the "warmest" we've been for the past few days. It's sunny and the sky is clear and blue. Temperatures will probably drop below zero again tonight, but it is supposed to warm up to the 30s tomorrow. We might get some more snow tomorrow evening, but they said that the temperatures should stay relatively "warm" for the rest of the week and into the weekend. Even 30 degrees will be a welcome relief after the past few days.
Even though our office has been closed, I've still had some work to do. So it hasn't been all fun and play for the past few days. But fortunately I've been able to take a lot of breaks between spans of work. I've been productive but much more relaxed while working. Most likely the office will be back open tomorrow. I almost feel like I'm coming off a weekend, so I don't feel ready or excited to go back in.

Cisca,
I read both of your "Baby, it's cold outside" posts. How come you took a chance Monday and drove in on that sheet of ice?
Fortunately or unfortunately, I had an eye appointment (that I had to cancel)that day, and never made it in.
