Pfft. It snowed around me too. And I lost internet Thursday night. STILL don't have it. Went to my parents house. :)

So no internet meant no work got done friday. Normally, I'd be okay with that and I'd get some armor stuff done. It was so darn cold I could barely work in the garage. Only got one gauntlet cleaned, part of a helmet, but I did get my armor wiped down, oiled, and back on the stand. I took some holiday pictures in armor. Thread forthcoming once I'm done filtering and uploading. :)

We didn't get snowed in over here, but it was enough that they closed our offices on Friday. Today, with the ice and semi-freezing rain, there were accidents and some roads closed in the Leesburg area. Just generally icky out there.

We got a foot (which is a lot in St Louis). Tomorrow the high will be zero with -30 windchills. Roads should be cleared in time for work though  :(

I almost slipped on black ice letting my husky out, then she slipped and almost hurt herself, had my dad put salt out, also our house is low on food thankfully with my mini fridge I dont have to worry about "eating all thats mine" before people eat it on me so I am doing quite ok, other than worrying about ice. Feels like I am on Hoth in Star Wars ESB.

Sorry Nate but I am taking away your sword & giving you a shovel to live up to your other household obligations. Now go clean the driveway.  ;D
