Snow Day

Today, for the first time in my life...work was cancelled for me because of the weather. A snowstorm hit Western Washington and Oregon, completing blanketing it in white snow.

Now, honestly, it really isn't that much snow. I have seen worst in Toronto. I remember times when I had to walk in WAIST HIGH SNOW (remember, I was a kid then) to go to school, because they NEVER EVER CANCELLED SCHOOL because of snow.

And here, a little bit of snow pretty much shuts down the whole city (freeways to the main parts of city was actually closed!!). Well...Washington doesn't really get snow so they dont have the equipment to handle the snow, which is fine for me...cause I didn't have to go to work which is all good! :)

Actually, its funny. We knew a snowstorm was coming the night before I am was *hoping* work would be cancelled. So I got up early only to be disappointed to see it wasn't too bad at all. I almost was going to go to work only to hear from the news that it would be a bad idea to drive at all. Despite the fact I lived 10 minutes away from work, I told myself not to go. This turned out to be a good idea because the snow kept going all moring and afternoon and eventually became a problem, with story of ppl actually being stuck at work now! HAHA!

Anyways, spent the day actually going to a friend's house for lunch (my friend offer to drive). An extra vacation day for one and all.
