Hell hath frozen over...

First of all, it's already snowing, five hours ahead of the predicted "snowstorm start time," meaning that Wegman's is going to be nightmarish when Tony and I run over there in a little while for chili making supplies and stuff for dinner tomorrow.

Second of all, as an update, Piggers caught the mouse (we think it was Piggers, anyway) and we're pretty sure she ate the body, because all I found this morning was a bit of the head. I'll leave that at that.

Finally, the reason for the title (other than the fact we're having snow right now!!), is that I got an email from the Prof I was despairing of ever meeting with, saying he'd just gotten back in town (hence the lack of response to my earlier several page email on Malory) and that he'd like to meet at some point over the next few days, pending the end of the snow and when it gets good to drive again... so for all said Prof drives me crazy sometimes, I'm shocked and happy - I didn't think he wanted to meet at all...

Update: Piggers must have eaten the mouse, because we never did find the body and my normally ravenous cat hasn't been near a food dish all day, unless she pigged out while Tony and I were stocking up at the grocery store for our lovely winter storm...

Storm update: Now they're saying 2-4 inches of snow, followed by sleet all night, followed by freezing rain in the morning, followed by more snow (about another inch). All told it doesn't sound like we're going to get tons of precipitation, more that it's going to be slick, messy and icky outside for the next few days. I think I'm cancelling class in the morning - I'm not interested enough in going over Hilary and Obama and Brownback's "yes I'm running for President officially now" speeches with my students to warrant trying to drive in an ice storm...

And Mom, I figured out that the lack of snow may be partially your fault, because this is the first time I've gotten to use those divinely wonderful snow/duck boots since you got them for me when you were here in PA. They're awesome!!!!!

I was going to ask if the snow was play-in-it snow..... Guess not.

I can't tell what it's going to be like exactly by the time it's through - it just started dumping snow about three minutes ago, so maybe there will be enough before dinner to go get wet in and throw snowballs or something :D

I love snow!!
