CPS teachers are sitting around with their fingers crossed for a 4AM snow storm. It's the only way CPS will cancel school. If not, I'm screwed for rush hour in the AM and PM.

DC got a semi-snowpocalypse of its own, which is actually preferable to the freezing rain we had to put up with yesterday. So glad I live within a few minutes' walk of work; trundling through ankle-deep snow on slippery sidewalks is far better than having the freeway turn into a massive bumper-car arena. Be safe and stay warm, y'all.
