Why I love almost snow days

• it is so so very quiet.  You can hear a pin drop
• it takes me 16 minutes to drive in from home
• I can actually go 60 on the 6/10ths of a mile on I-5 (yes, I-5, not "the 5") that I hate to navigate each morning.
• there are lots of fun snow pictures to be had
• I get brownie points for "braving it" and coming on in
• I get leniency if tomorrow is indeed a worse day
• I get to see the "convergence zone" up close and personal (and for the record, I live waaaay too close to work and the convergence zone essentially means that my school will NEVER have a snow day)
• I get to email him like all day long (what else is there to do??)
• I get to bundle up in my favorite scarf and wool coat
• chai nog tea lattes are totally justifiable on days like today--unfortunately, this day came late this year and so it won't be a chai nog tea latte.  Important distinction there.
