Snow Day!!!<\/p>\n

\"fullsizerender-2\"<\/p>\n

On Wednesday we left work early because daycare was closing early–which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We picked up the baby and got home in no time at all and I was able to work from home for a few hours. Unfortunately, a lot of people I know, and some coworkers, didn’t get as lucky. Lots of people’s commutes were 2-4 hours!! Lots of cars<\/a> got stuck, crashed, people abandoned their cars<\/a> and walked, some people took cabs and got gouged for outrages rates<\/a>, a school<\/a> bus with kids inside slid down an icy hill and crashed (everyone was ok). It was chaos<\/a>! For only a few inches!<\/p>\n

To be fair, it doesn’t snow often in Portland–usually we get hit with ice and that’s worse. But not many of us local PNW-ers are experienced driving in snow AND it’s so hilly that roads get icy and treacherous, and so the city pretty much shuts down.<\/p>\n

Thursday work was closed and so I did a little bit of work on my laptop (when I had some, which wasn’t much) but basically I had a snow day too! YAY!<\/p>\n

Logan let us sleep in a bit, which was a nice bonus, and Michael made breakfast burritos. Then I worked out in my living room.<\/p>\n
