the Way of the Turtle

A WET, ICY JANUARY DAY...
Wednesday, January 28, 2009

One of the pluses of being a teacher in the northeast is occasional snow days in the winter... I wasn't particularly surprised when I had one today, given the big deal all the weather services were making about the storm that was blowing through. And I certainly didn't mind getting a little extra sleep this morning...

Unfortunately, by the time I ran some errands this afternoon the snow had turned to freezing rain and the roads were turning into skating rinks, so I cancelled my plans to hit the trails for a few miles of snowshoeing and headed back home instead. Guess I'll try to squeeze a run in before classes tomorrow...
