The call to cancel Wednesday classes came around noon today. This was a substantial improvement over 5 AM. :)

Classes are still -- in theory -- on for Thursday, but the closing criterion is a low of -15 or a wind chill of -30, both of which are forecast for Thursday morning, so I would bet on school being closed. I am hoping that they decide this before 5 AM on Thursday.

Katie is off to a friend's house for a sleepover. Julie is playing online games.

Gretchen and I have watched the first two episodes of "Absentia", Stana Katic's new series. It films in Bulgaria and is predictably dark and mumbly. :) But it's got us curious and we always liked her on "Castle", so we'll keep watching and will turn the volume up so we can catch all of the dialogue.

And tomorrow, I will enjoy the fact that I work from home.
