SNOW DAY!

In an unusual twist of fate (i.e. the weather), it the greater Seattle area has been snowed in. So much so, in fact, that all schools and most public services are canceled. The road conditions are so poor (and the drivers are so inexperienced) that the city is at a basic stand-still. I haven’t had a snow day since 10th grade — back during the golden era when I was roaming the arctic streets of Ottawa, Canada.

I tried to go to work this morning (yes — I’m a great corporate citizen) but my SUV was unable to make it out of the street. I kept spinning my tires and sliding back. Since there was a ton of kids and parents out and about, making snowmen and tobogganing, I didn’t really have the opportunity to try anything remotely dangerous (e.g. drive on the sidewalk). Alas, I gave up and here I am at home — having a cup of tea and a cream-cheese sandwich. I took some pictures of the kids and their tomfoolery in the snow. The pictures are, of course, courtesy of my new (yet to be named) phone:

Kids in the Snow

The worst part of is that I was having a great hair day too. Now, I have to get my hair undid. Damn you, Mother Nature.

Adieu. Navid.
