Dodged a bullet

cornerofmadnessI had nightmares all night so I was hoping for that snow day. I pull the curtains and nothing so I don't check my phone. Heck when I rolled out at 9 AM it was 40. I get to work and I need my phone to get onto my teaching software and work email. to my surprise the sheriff has texted. Now good ol' sheriff frazier is loosey goosey with declaring snow emergencies. And it's not just level 1. No it had gotten up to level 3. That means I shouldn't have been on the road. PERIOD.
I'm baffled. It's 40. It's dry. Why is it level 3. Why do I have 20 emails saying they can't be there. Why did we close two branches of our campus north of me? What the hell happened 10 miles away from me? I ask everyone who drove much further. NO ONE saw any winter, not even north in Jackson. So this must have been the narrowest band storm in existence.
Now I know almost no one from the midwest to the east coast is escaping this weekend's snow. A coworker's daughter works at Kroger and you can't even order food. They're completely booked out. I do hope I can get up there tomorrow. Okay I HAVE food. I'm a bit of a food hoarder by nature. My real mission is to cook off several meals in case the power goes out. Given my power has been going out for no reason, I'm worried. I'm fine with being snowed in. Without power, much less so. And remember everyone fill your car's tank if you can. If you live where winter is, don't let that go below a half.
Today was annoying AF though. The lesson capture software won't work even with IT fucking around with it for 15 minutes. And yesterday (if I mentioned it) only half my class was in the online homework section so I have the book store manager look into this and she tells me I never asked for this (then why is half of them in there?) and I wanted a paper book. No I didn't ask for that and do you need me to send back YOUR emails saying you had set up the online purchase? When I got back from class I got an email 'it'll be fixed tomorrow.' Yeah...
