Good morning, people. Just checking in before the storm starts to blow in. I was going to summarize the timeline they're calling for but I might as well just cut and paste. We can look back and laugh at how off things were, k?

When I walked the dog this morning, we took the long route (but not the super long one) and it was kinda a ghost town. I'm not sure how much of it is people who are still here don't have to work, so there wasn't the parade of cars driving by or people walking their dogs, but I'm betting quite a few people evacuated. As we came home, I'm pretty sure the neighbors were packing their car to leave. So we'll see.

I'm off to shower.

I see your governor is being rather melodramatic.

The ghost-town feel is eerie. During Snowpacalypse '14 when I walked home from work, it was much the same - streets completely empty, save for the abandoned cars. Never seen an interstate so deserted *shudder*

Good luck, friend!!

She so is. I'd finally gotten relatively calm and then holyfuckballs. I'd have been less stressed if she stood on someone's back and started screaming you're all gonna die.

Thanks!
