This is my bus, still stuck at the top of the hill where we abandoned it about an hour ago. The entire downslope has been closed off to traffic for two blocks in either direction. I'm back home now, contemplating whether it's going to be worth trying to get to work at all, since there's still heavy snow falling, with about 3 inches accumulation where I am, and doesn't look like it's going to let up any time soon.
Might be a good time to get something hot going on the stove: Thai curry is sounding pretty good right about now.
UPDATE 10:05 a.m.: Just found out, my alternate bus route has also been shut down, due to a jack-knifed articulated bus blocking the entire street in both directions.
Am starting to boil water for rice, and putting the kettle on to make coffee. Still snowing heavily.
Stay warm.
UPDATE 10:45 a.m.: Word was, the snow accumulation was supposed to stop around 10:00 a.m., but from the looks of things, it's coming down even harder; I can barely see the neighbor's house across the street, which means visibility is down to around 150 feet, with about 3 1/2 - 4 inches on the ground so far, and no signs of it letting up.
UPDATE 1:30 p.m.: Pretty much continuous snowfall since this morning. Accumulation approximately 5 - 5 1/2 inches. Seems to be tapering off, but the gusts of wind are blowing it around quite a bit. Starting to see just a little clearing, although that's what it was doing around 9:30 this morning as well, so who knows?
