It snowed!

If you look outside my window whether it be at home, work, or school all you will see is plenty of the white stuff.....SNOW.......... while it was fun trying to drive home from school that didn't close until 7:30 pm last night I realized that there are many drivers here in Seattle who can't drive in the rain much less snow. Although it took me an hour and ten minutes to drive what usually takes me fifteen minutes to drive I took into account the weather and the road conditions and drove slowly. Daryl, my fiance, left work 45 minutes before I left school at 7:30pm when they finally closed school (I should have followed my first instinct and just taken the absense but I'm stubborn and wanted my perfect attendence to go unblemished!) we ended up meeting at the same spot that he had been trying to get to for a good ten minutes when I called him letting him know that they had just closed school and that I was going to attempt the trek home. He said that he would come get me if I got stuck but that I should be able to make it just go slow. I said I have no problems going slow. I will make it home....somehow. At this point I had already seen one accident from someone not paying attention and going to fast, and was seeing people abandon their cars on the side of the road. While I give them credit for getting off the road and not driving any further I tried to imagine the towing bill that was going to come if they don't pick up there car the next day when conditions are somewhat better. I say somewhat cause temperatures were below freezing last night and are not expected to get much warmer than that this week.
Right now I'm at work having made it in with no problems at all to find that one of my coworkers as usual didnt show up due to the weather....knowing that when he was hired he was asked would he make it to work if it snowed.... he said yes......but so far it shows that he lied ....as he repeatedly has not shown up when the weather turns bad.

Yea tomorrow is payday...... question is are they going to reopen school in time for night classes tonight??? I hope that they do as I do not want to have to make up another day of classes.
