A massive winter storm rolled in over night and hasn't let up all day. I don't have to worry about driving to work, so I enjoyed the snowy-but-warm walk to the station and hopped on the train and made it to work early. Then I watched the river valley turn completely white from my office window until 2:57, when they sent out an email telling us all to go home.
The train was totally running smoothly, and the driver even made announcements about the treacherous conditions on the platforms telling us to watch our step and have a great evening. I love it when LRT drivers talk like they are flight pilots. Makes my day every time. The platforms have piles of snow that were almost as big as the ones I remember from my childhood.
After trudging (literally) through the deep snow, I arrived home and decided to shovel my car out, the driveway, the sidewalks, etc. The entire time, my iPod chose songs on shuffle that were totally rocking my face off. M. Ward, Wilco, Stars, Sufjan Stevens. It took about an hour and when I got into the house the bottoms of my pants WEREN'T EVEN WET. That is how fluffy this snow is, my friends.
Let's do a quick recap: snow day, fluffy snow, lrt, awesome!
Enjoy it.
