Usually here in Kansas City, it starts snowing around 3pm on a work day. We watch it blow thicker and thicker and see that cars are starting to slide around trying to get up the hill by our building. Finally, by 5pm, the traffic is snarled and it takes 2 hours to get home. (What usually takes 25 minutes, and that only because heading home traffic is worse.) I have a stick shift, so the stop and go drive is murder and I'm so stressed and sore and miserable by the time I get home I can't stand it. Then, if I'm LUCKY, it will keep snowing and I will call in the next day. But more typically, it stops around 7 pm. About the time I get home. And I know I can look forward to a longer drive in than normal.
This winter, the big snowfalls have actually given us three emergency days with only essential people being asked to work. It waited until I was safely home and snug as a bug, then I got to stay there! So wonderful! I dunno, we could get another whammy yet, but I've loved this....
