We had our first major snow storm of the season today — we probably got about 12 inches of snow. It started last night, continued while we were sleeping and went through most of the morning. Now in normal times, this type of storm would shut down schools and offices and create delays in public transportation.
My office would have shut down for the day and I would have enjoyed a nice relaxing day at home watching my husband shovel out our driveway while I stayed inside nice and warm. OK, I would have offered to shovel, but he complains about my technique, he says I leave little white lines on the driveway and he would rather just do it himself. I think he’s just too picky, but if it gets me out of shoveling, then I am all for it!
But today is not a “normal” day. My office didn’t close down, I’m already working from home, so nothing changed here. I went outside to clean off my car and helped with a little bit of snow removal (afterwards my husband mentioned that I left a little bit of snow at the end of the driveway — I can’t win with that man!)
Yes, I am thankful for the technology that let’s me work from home especially during a public health pandemic. But darn you, 2020, you’ve even taken away snow days!
