Average Jane vs. the Weather

Written by

The TV weather people in Kansas City are having a sustained freakout about the fact that there’s an ice storm coming through town today.

When I woke up, I thought I might end up working from home, but I decided to go to my morning dentist appointment anyway. Turns out, it’s raining outside.

Yes, there is ice on the trees and I saw a few small branches down. Reportedly there are thousands of people without power in parts of the metropolitan area, but we are not among them. I suppose there may be more branches coming down over time if the rain continues, but so far it seems like everyone’s making a big deal over not much. Thus, I’m headed into the office.

I have concert tickets for tonight and there’s no way I intend to waste them. Even if it means walking blocks in the freezing rain, wearing my heaviest boots and tiptoeing through the ice, I’m determined to be there. I just hope the weather doesn’t have other plans for me.

I debated about whether to go to work today or not. While the streets seem fine, my son’s school was closed and hubby was told to stay home from work. So, I decided to stay in and work from home. It is kind of a nice change from the office.

Jane,
Be careful. Ice storms can get nasty fast. Of course, being out in the weather, braving the ice, is smarter than driving around in it, but don’t end up with an accident that has a long influence on your life, far into the future. I hate ice storms. I’d rather see nice, clean, safe (or safer) snow. Take care.

Our kids’ preschool was canceled today. We didn’t know. It didn’t seem like a big deal to us (we moved from MN where weather is worse most of the time).
Have fun at the concert!

I hope the concert was a go. Our area has been battling floods as of late. No fun at all.
