I'm from Michigan, but no school today!!  Blowing snow and temps below 10 degrees made the roads impossible to clear, and the temps made the salt useless!!

Just left work - they let us out early because they're starting to close the roads around here.  So I guess I was half lucky.

Unfortunately my wife works at the same place I do and she said, "Oh good, now we can spend the afternoon together!"

I really wanted to get out on the ice this afternoon!  It being Valentine's Day I suppose that was wishful thinking though ...

Got lucky on the work and school front.  UVM closed at noon, but my professors had emailed me by 7:30 saying they were cancelling.  I work in one of the outpatient clinics in the hospital and most patients rescheduled yesterday so no work either.  Been napping, studying running the snowblower, napping (did I mention too, that I have been napping?).  My wife, on the other hand had to work today.  Picking her up at 8 tonight should be an adventure :blink:

I got lucky last week.  A water main in town froze; so the school where I teach  didn't have water for a day.  We got the afternoon off, and I went fishing.

I'm self employed and work out of my house. :'(

I tried to convince my boss that the snow was too deep on the stairs, but he wasn't buying it. :'(

Maybe I should offer to take him ice fishing. ;)

It's just cool here...it's warmed up quite a bit compared to a week ago...this weekend we'll just be several degrees below average rather than 15.  I'm on a training course all this week and 4 days next week, so it's kind of like a holiday from work...overtime all day Sunday though, so fishing isn't likely to happen.

Yesterday, which was Monday Feb: 14th, I was going to School to get the bus started and warmed up when I got a call from my Secretary at 5:26am, Beth said that there was "NO School" today...

Hot Dog....So, I went out for Breakfast, Took extra long, Just Long enough so the wife would be gone, and came back home to get dressed up a bit, and went Fishing.

Went to Emmonds Lake...I saw them down there, but they just wouldn't bite..

Someones got to come up w/ a tool that'll make them bite your hook.
