Digging out.

I ventured to work this morning, taking advantage of the fact that I don't have to drive in this mess (not that it would matter. I could've driven around and dug people out with my tank of a car. I miss her terribly.)

It's quite a winter wonderland and beyond gorgeous. I think it should be a standard here to have a blizzard shut everything down for a couple of days and give everyone a little break (I'm sure the owners of all of those abandoned cars on the interstate don't see it that way). There wasn't much to do yesterday so Ross and I took the train down to the 16th st mall, which was THE place to be apparently. I don't know how all of those people got there (perhaps they were shuttled from the airport), but the 3 Starbucks were open, so people came down. We then spent the rest of the day eating leftover casserole and finishing up Season 3 of the Sopranos.

Is it true that you burn twice as many calories wading through knee deep snow and gale force winds in snow gear?
