Go big or go home

Okay, the snow was kind of fun over the weekend. There was the looming prospect of a "snow day" which my teacher friend was excited about (yes: teacher... not student: teacher). It was kind of a neat thought that I might be stuck on the island for another night because of the veritable winter wonderland outside. But now the snow is just irritating. It should have rained by now to wash all this white crap away.
The issue is that the snow needs to go big or go home. This in between, snowy, icy, no rain in the forecast conundrum has led to a situation whereby people are still willing (and obligated) to try. See, if it had rained or warmed up, the snow would be gone, transit would be running smoothly, and everyone would be expected at work. If it had snowed another foot, everything would have pretty much shut down and we would not be expected to go anywhere, or do anything except make snowmen, drink hot chocolate and pray the power doesn't go out. The situation we find ourselves in currently is that of limbo. A kind of snow purgatory, if you will. The snow has remained, being compacted into ice in some parts. It has started to snow again, but not so hard that you wouldn't want to go out and give 'er. Nothing says "I am having a fun November" than trying to work your car out of its icy rut (after convincing yourself that you drive perfectly fine in the snow, though you've never wintered east of LANGLEY) only to "misunderestimate" yourself and t-bone a nice, shiny Lexus. And then have your airbag engage and mash your glasses all up in your face. This sequence of events hasn't actually happened yet, but I am anticipating my involvement in this very scenario when I attempt to go to school in the next couple of hours. Perhaps I'll just take the bus. Perhaps the weather could finally just shit or get off the pot and give us a nice rain or a blizzard, so all the difficult decision making would be done for me.
