We are just getting with snowstorms these past couple of weeks. There is another severe weather alert for our area.
GREATER RENO-CARSON CITY-MINDEN AREA-951 AM PST FRI JAN 7 2005
...WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM PST MONDAY...
SNOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY WITH HEAVY SNOW AT TIMES. OCCASIONAL BREAKS IN THE SNOWFALL WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY STRONG WIND GUSTS OF 50 MPH OR MORE...ESPECIALLY IN WIND PRONE AREAS...WITH BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW REDUCING VISIBILITY TO NEAR ZERO AT TIMES. BY MONDAY AFTERNOON...TOTAL SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO NEARLY 3 FEET ARE LIKELY IN MOST VALLEY FLOORS WITH OVER 4 FEET ABOVE 5000 FEET.
Read the weather watch.
So guess what? The facilities at work have been shut down again and management is telling everyone to go home. The storm is getting worse with each hour, with fog moving in some areas. Yikes.
I guess it's a good thing that I slept in? Actually, I was already heading for the bus when Nick got back from work. He told me go to back in and call my manager and check if it would be ok for me to just work from home. He said that traffic's really bad going south (In fact some of my coworkers took an hour or so to get to work when it usually only takes 15-20 minutes). Plus the snow isn't stopping; tire chains are required on all roads.
I hope no one gets into a major accident today...
