It's snowing in Saskatchewan!
We're in the middle of a ridiculous blizzard here. I went to work in the morning, which was a mistake. It wasn't too bad then, snowing lightly with pretty heavy winds.
Unfortunately, it got worse! We decided to shut work down at lunch because things were getting so bad, and the worst was yet to come.
So I'm driving home, and now the snow is coming down ridiculously heavily, and the weird thing is it's coming straight sideways. Winds are gusting to almost 60 miles an hour. What this all adds up to is that you can only see about 15 feet in front of your face... or as I learned, only 10 feet in front of the hood of your car. I took some sweet camera phone pictures to illustrate.
There were at least a dozen accidents on the way home, but I made it without too much trouble. Of course, when I actually got to my house, I found it surrounded by three feet of snow. Here's the view from my kitchen into my backyard.
Home at last though, right? Unfortunately things aren't well. I've actually got a pretty huge problem.
Much worse than being stuck at work in a blizzard.
Now I'm totally snowed in at home, and I don't have nearly enough whiskey to make it through the night.
Heh.
Cheers, y'all.
