Barely ¼ inch of snow and sleet causes the area to shut down all the schools, public transportation, bridges, and roads due to us not being able to handle such conditions.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say I wasn’t excited though! I love snow, so when it happens here, that makes it all the more special and fun to enjoy. To those of you who have been seeing snow all winter and are like, “Really? Your town is shutting down due to a little snow?” You obviously have never been to the Southern part of the States- our vehicles and towns aren’t equipped for even freezing rain, so rather than risk killing ourselves, they just shut anything “unnecessary” down. That and people in the South aren’t exactly known to like cold temperatures…myself excluded.

…on a sidenote, I’ll probably be that idiot outside running in it later. Why? Because working out when it’s cold is fun as heck (Don’t judge me, I laugh at freezing temperatures and Mother Nature, ha!)

Best of all, due to the weather, my boss is letting me go home early today, woot! Man, what a great way to start the weekend: snow and an early Friday? Can this day get any better? Oh yeah, it's payday too. *does the happy dance*

Anyway, hope everyone’s New Year is off to an awesome start! I’m gonna wrap up some work so I can go home around lunchtime and be lazy and play in the snow~
