My school, for the first time I can remember, canceled night classes due to the threat of snow.

Usually it takes 2 feet on the roads, no plows, high winds, power outages, ice and perhaps some sort of structure fire on campus in order for them to even consider canceling classes.

I’m not asking questions…I’m just going to go with the flow.

The snow is out to get me.

We had a lake effect snow warning in effect for yesterday and part of this morning. I was hoping it was going to snow here early enough so that I wouldn’t have to go to class that night, because if there’s one thing worse than driving when the roads are all slick with snow, it’s driving at night with slick roads.

But what actually happened went something like this:

5pm – Leave work to go home and eat dinner. No snow.

5:30pm – Leave house. No snow.

6pm – Arrive at class, snow coming down lightly

7:15pm – The halfway point break in class where the professor says he might let us go early due to the weather

8:00pm – The professor begins the process of finishing out class. He’s about to let us go when some moron asks a question which causes him to launch into a 30 minute response.

8:40pm – Class dismissed. It’s snowing pretty good now, roads are pretty bad. Can’t even see the lanes on two the major highways I use to get home. Don’t even get me started on the back roads

9:20pm – What is normally a 20 minute drive takes 40 minutes. Snow still coming down pretty good when I walk in my front door.

10pm – Snow stops.

So, lets review. The snow starts too late for me to not go to class on account of weather, snows just long enough to make my drive home fun and then stops just as soon as I get home. Blargh!

I suddenly got a little more free time this weekend. After checking the road conditions, I rescheduled my trip over to fix the network of the person I work with (mentioned here).

Overall it’s been a really crappy weekend, weather-wise. The roads were ungood yesterday morning when I started off to meet up with my friends for the trip to the city. They were decent out there, but as soon as I started heading home again, they were horrible again. I enjoy snow on the ground, I just wish they invented some way to stop it from snowing on the roads.

Note to self: The Presidente Margarita from Chili’s is GOOD. Really good.

Anyway I’m glad that I’ve got the free time around here now to do my homework for my Western Civilization class because the reading is taking a lot longer than I thought it would. I’ve read two of the three assigned passages right now, but the third is roughly 40 pages long. Erasmus’ two forewords to the Latin translation of the New Testament, written by Desiderius Erasmus in 1516. This is going to be…fun. We need to pick out the thesis of each work, 3 or 4 important points and then write a statement that contains the overarching idea linking all three pieces together. That last bit is going to be the hard part I think…we’ll have to see.
