Snowpocalypse 2010...or whatever.

Guess where I am...right between Waterbury & Winsted in the brown part!

Snowpocalypse has arrived. Or the blizzard of 2010, if you insist...as there are blizzard conditions throughout the state of Connecticut right now. TV Meteorologist wonderboy extraordinaire Geoff Fox from WTNH put together the snow map over there. Needless to say, the whole state is getting a dumping, but as usual, the northwest corner of Connecticut is getting the jackpot.

I've been sitting at home all day since getting home from a pre-storm jaunt to the Waterbury mall to get a stupid ink tag removed from the Tom Brady Patriots jersey I got for the boyfriend for Christmas. I've been having myself a grand old time watching the first two seasons of Grey's Anatomy and getting snowed in. I have no intention of going to work tomorrow...and I'm pretty sure my boss probably already doesn't plan on me coming in (having one of the longest commutes of anyone in our department has its perks...as does my coworkers' beliefs that anything north of Waterbury is the sticks...so they assume I'll be snowed in for days.) I still have to wake up at 6:30 tomorrow morning and call my boss and tell her I'm not coming, but it won't be a shock to her...the only thing that sucks is I have to work late the rest of the week. Oh well.

I wish I could be getting snowed in with the boyfriend, but Walgreens is too money grubbing to close early...everything else is closing, and the streets are deserted (or so I hear on Twitter, because I am far too cozy to venture outside into the blizzard to even get a picture) and I'm sure that Walgreens has had all of three customers since about 3pm, but come hell or high water, they'll stay open until 10 tonight. Under normal circumstances, he probably would have just been like "forget work", but if he missed today, he would have screwed himself out of getting paid for yesterday's holiday. Plus, after having been stationed in Montana whilst he was in the Air Force, snow driving doesn't phase him, even if it is a blizzard. I know he'll be home safe, but I'd rather have him home and be watching movies with him.

Edit: This snowpocalypse picture is from the boyfriend. Apparently this is what the top of East Main St. in Torrington is looking like right about now...and apparently the plow just came by. (He's at work which explains the poorly cleared part in the foreground)
