For the first time this winter, we actually get winter precipitation in my area and all it turns out to be is sleet. Supposedly, snow is supposed to start falling at midnight tonight but right now the only ground cover we have is pure ice. The road here in our apartment complex is dangerous enough let alone the highway with other drivers and passengers to worry about. Needless to say, I'm not going to work tonight.

I don't drive so the only real effect it has on me is whether or not I can find someone willing to drive in this kind of weather. I was not so fortunate tonight. Luckily I've got sick time accumulating that I can use to make up for lost time.

This weather really is quite depressing though. All you hear is sirens all day long. I'd hate to be cleaning up the accidents. That's just something I cannot deal with.

Negativity aside, I feel that no holiday season is complete without the view of a winter wonderland and I hope the sleet turns into snow so that we may be able to enjoy it!
