Well, It's a Good Thing I Was Raised in Syracuse and Have CNY Blood. One Snow Cyclone is Simply a Night of Lake Effect Snow (Just Rare in these Parts)

I was a good boy. I got up and simply filmed my evening class asynchronously before I bundled up and tackled the insanity outside. It was wet and heavy and the snow drifts were extreme. I have a routine and was thankful that much of the back porch goop blew off the back porch. The front was a different story and a million shout outs to Paul, who allows another neighbor to use his blower. That neighbor bailed me out of the heaviest stuff caused by the plows at the end of the driveway.

In 3 hours, the 16 or so inches that fell was cleared so that this morning I could go to campus. Although all the local schools are closed (including Prep which shares our campus), the University is open and ready to go. I have meetings and I'm teaching a class at noon. I will go in, but am debating the evening class, because I have in-service teachers who got a snow day. I'm unsure I want to make them travel to campus. It might be smarter simply to have them work from home on what the evening objectives shall be. 

I also cooked an Indian dish with peppers, chicken, and mushrooms and overate (while sweating, because I used lots of spices). It was delicious and I'm happy I have food for the days ahead. Also laundry is caught up, although not put away yet...I'll get to that eventually.

It's also supposed to snow again tonight, so I'm curious as to what will happen with the PD in Redding on Wednesday. 1 to 3 inches on top of the crazy we already have can make for an interesting school week. I already lost time with Darien (no one should schedule anything in February). 

I'm also hoping this is the last MAJOR snow event of the season. I now know what it feels like to shovel in these adult bones. I've succeeded twice and am thankful to hot showers afterwards.
