The weather folks were threatening snow, snow, and more snow, with a possibility of rain and ice. We got a little bit of snow, but it was mostly rain that froze and turned everything pretty and slippy-slidey. Obviously, I’m taking an ice day.
It could be worse. I just got off the phone with my mom, and up north it’s blizzarding. Ball State is actually closed. I can count on two fingers the number of times the university has closed in the past 25 years. On the first, it was just night classes that were cancelled. The second closing occurred during winter break, when the entire city was shut down for a blizzard-related state of emergency. Classes weren’t in session, so it wasn’t like a real school closing.
It sounds like it’s pretty awful up there, so I guess I should be glad we just got the dreaded wintry mix and not a full scale blizzard. Still, it’s bad enough. The temperature is supposed to drop tonight, and we’re supposed to get more snow on top of all the ice. O ick.
