Wet 'n Wild

[owlmoose]

The second storm is upon us now. I can hear the rain and wind on the roof, although it's not nearly as heavy as it was yesterday. That was a nasty day, especially in the morning -- public transit snarls, everyone dripping wet, lots of power outages. Nothing that touched us here, fortunately, although we did go grocery shopping at a store that had been without power earlier in the day, and it was weird. Lots of closed or empty freezer cases, most of the fresh fish gone, all the poultry packed in extra ice.

Today isn't supposed to be as bad, although the weather report says there might be thunderstorms (which are rare here). It'd be a great day to curl up with a cup of tea, a book, and several blankets, but new faculty orientation waits for no one.

You sound so much calmer than most of the news stories. There seems to be something about extreme weather which drives news-readers to shout and gesticulate. We are glad you are faring well and hope your work duties do not involve you in traffic messes or the like. Take care and keep your friends informed of your fate. ;)

Yesterday was definitely ugly, especially in the morning. Everyone who came into the library was dripping wet, and I heard all kinds of transportation horror stories. The area where I live is somewhat sheltered from the worst of any bad weather system, and I have a short commute, so it's typical for me to get off easy when this kind of thing happens. ;)

I'm in the office with no difficulty, and T is picking me up afterwards, so I expect everything will be fine. But I appreciate your continued good wishes!
