impySo, Icepocalypse '26 didn't do anything here. For days they were calling for freezing rain overnight Saturday into Sunday, but then maybe midweek they walked that back saying models had shifted it just enough that the coast *should* be fine, but anything further inland than _they'd keep moving the goalpost here_ should probably stay the fuck home. Thing is, one of those goalposts is basically a hop, skip, and a jump away from my place. And I cross *counts* three bridges and a couple of overpasses to get to work, and I know the one on the island freezes over before everything else due to the snowstorm back in, uh... fuck, I dunno, 2018? Did that year have one? Whatever year it snowed before I got off work and everything froze over in record time and I got to be told for the second time in my life that no, it wasn't snowing/going to snow when I could see the snow falling as they assured me that no, it wasn't.
Anyway, it didn't help that every time I checked, the forecast had changed yet again and basically just seemed to be "we don't fucking know, man."
To be clear, I was not expecting anything big, but freezing rain + a city that is not accustomed to anything remotely involving winter means my ass would be staying home and enjoying chips and cheese.
I did not stay home and enjoy chips and cheese. It did rain, apparently pretty hard, on this side of the city, but at work? Maybe the faintest whisper of drizzle at some point. Luckily nothing froze and people did stay home just in case (though lord, did they send the third party shoppers out in full force).
It's currently cool and foggy as fuck. I'm going to go peek outside for a bit to stretch my legs but since I can't find my blue sweatshirt, I'm gonna keep it short.
Saturday is still calling for snow. :D I just need it to figure out if that means Fri/Sat or Sat/Sun. It's supposed to be fuuuuuuuuuuuuuucking cold all week overnight, too.
I hope the Icepocalypse was kind to you!
Future!me, next time you've volunteered to make dinner, don't go home and pass out. It seems like a very smart idea, but you always wake up and feel like absolute SHIT and this does not go away.
