Snow dazed

So, as you might have heard, it snowed a lot here overnight.

We had a total of maybe two feet here, coupled with heavy winds, and we wound up largely snowed in because of it. None of the trains or buses were running, and my office was officially closed. If I hadn’t already been off from work today, I would have been off from work today.

From the New York Times:

For much of Monday, New York’s Penn Station was filled with bedraggled passengers, some of whom slept overnight in the waiting room and even on a couple of trains. Two L.I.R.R. trains on tracks 18 and 19 turned into a makeshift hotel (minus the pillows), passengers said, as officials kept the trains open all night with lights and heat.

Can I pick the days not to go into work or what?

Luckily I still don’t have to go into work until next Monday, by which point I’m sure the Long Island Railroad will have found something else to disrupt normal service.

I spent most of the morning shoveling snow, and I’m pretty much exhausted because of it.
