The national weather service has a Severe Weather Alert for my local area.

It's currently 21.2°F (-7°C). They're expecting more snow and freezing rain.

The last 2 lines of the Severe Weather Alert are: "ANY TRAVEL IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED. IF YOU LEAVE THE SAFETY OF BEING INDOORS... YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR LIFE AT RISK."

I hafta go to work today! Granted, they sent everyone home at 4 o'clock yesterday so we could all get home while it was still light out and before the predicted storm arrived. They've also said to be careful coming in this morning. And I don't have to be there until 10am because we're having a training class today.

I have never in my life been so glad to be at work!

The roads driving in were *awful*. But thankfully they were also almost completely deserted as most of the town seems to have listened when the news & the weather service told everyone to stay home & indoors or risk your life trying to go outside & drive anywhere.

At least it's supposed to clear up and melt by the end of the day.

I'm dreaming about a new car. Even though it'll be at least a year or a year and a half before I'm able to buy one.

I want one of those hybrid gas/electric cars. I looked at Toyota's (Prius), it looked ok, but it was an automatic transmission. I'm a stick-shift girl. I don't like automatics.

I also looked at Honda's (Civic Hybrid) - it comes in a manual transmission!
Now, all I have to do is come up with $24,000.

I suppose I better start saving my pennies, huh?
