panic! at the college

overnight, we got maybe 1/16 inch of snow. a dusting, really. i can still see the dirt/grass peeking through the lovely, lovely snow. back home, it's what you wake up with daily. it doesn't even warrant getting up early enough to clean your windshields, as the wipers themselves are enough to dispel any annoying bits. hell, it's the sort of thing i usually wouldn't even bother with wipers for -- isn't that what the wind of motion is for?

here, it's a different story. the grocery store was ridiculous last night. i needed some guinness for a stew and port needed some kibble; apparently, the rest of town needed to prepare for a blizzard. the milk and baby formula aisles were stuffed to the hilt. the checkout lanes were reminiscent of traffic on times square.

and the college is open on a delayed schedule, which means that classes all start late.

what the fuck?
