Blizzard Of '07

In case you haven't hurd, there was a blizzard yesterday into today here in the land of Cleve. I donned my snow pants/ski jacket/Tims and set off for work this morning around 6:45am. I walked to the rapid station through more than a foot of snow, at times which was waste deep. I was laughing the whole way, imagining how funny I must look trying to walk in this shit. Luckily, the heat is blazing in the "Eco Village" rapid station so I parked my ass in front of the vent and chatted with some locals. Thirty minutes later the rapid arrived, and I was well on my way.

Upon arriving at the Cedar/University stop, I stood up, ready to disembark the train. To everyone's surprise, the train slid right past the platform and down about 100 yards! The driver had to walk all the way to the back train in order to drive the train back to the platform. All I could do was laugh as the entire car roared in laughter.

After getting off the train, I had to traipse across campus because no shuttles were running. The snow was the pelting/stinging kind, so I walked behind a quite rotund woman to help block the precipitation. It worked well until she decided to slow down and start talking to me as we walked. Damn.

Anyways, I finally made it to work at 8:45am, one of only three people that bothered to come in. Here are a few pics of the dogs enjoying themselves in the snow.

"Hmmmm, I wonder what's back here?"

Where's Cody?

Oh wait, I can see her tail.

"Hey look, here I am!!!!!"

"Shit, how do I get out of here?"

"Guess I'll just plow through."

"That black dog is so stupid. I'm staying right here, where I know my feet are on the ground!"

O Black Dog and Brown Dog! How I love the pups. Not going to lie to you, I enjoy myself a blizzard, but I am glad to know that I won't be seeing its carcass of crusty, dirty snow piled high for next 3 months.
