went in today but abandoned the office at 11:30 when it stopped snowing. Got home and it dumped another 2" on the floor.

So 3" at home and 5 - 6" at the office. Boss has told me not to bother trying to get in tomorrow Snow I'll drive in, now its ice, so I'm taking him up on the offer an will work from home.

I've been off the last week before christmas, the boss deemed the roads to dangerous, we shut down between christmas and new year then nobody has been in this week. I'm begining to forget what I do when I'm there.
I don't mind getting up and spending the morning getting there but if I do get there I panic and think "What happens if I get stuck here!" I mean who would pick the kids up.
