The first night before the storm

The weatherman is predicting a fairly big snowstorm starting tonight into tomorrow.  Of course, they've been predicting this storm to hit since Sunday and so far no go, so I'm hoping that the predicted 10 inches of snow to fall starting tonight will turn to rain.  I know I know, 10 inches?  Pbbbbttt...thats nothing.  But in my defense, in our defense, its 10 inches for the PNW, areas that are used to being hit with mild temperatures and 4 months of rain during the winter. 

I went from east coast driving in the snow with very little worries to west coast being a nervous nelly when the roads aren't even being touched with snow.  Its something about the area and the fact that I have to worry about all these inexperienced drivers out there, I think.

Anyways, Atticus and I hung out a bit outside today after work - it is actually eerily sunny.  The calm before the storm?

Just one more day of work.  I need to be at work at 4am (or earlier if they get overwhelmed), so I cancelled my gym and coffee plans for the evening and will have a relaxing few hours with my dog, a beer, and perhaps pinterest.

A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water. ~ Carl Reiner
