What’s the use of snow if they won’t let you stay home?

I’m thinking about calling Honda to ask if I can come in tomorrow or Saturday to pick up my inspection sticker. Driving to work was complicated enough, what with the turning and the stopping and the moving and everything. It’s going to take me a good ten or fifteen minutes just to dig out my car and, from the look of things, at least half an hour just to get to the dealership. The local weather service is predicting three to four inches of accumulation, which, at this rate, seems like wishful thinking. There was already a couple of inches on the ground when I woke up this morning, and so far the snow doesn’t show any signs of slowing. I’ll have to see where things stand at around noon.

On the plus side, I’ve just been told that I can leave early this afternoon. On the down side, it wasn’t my boss who told me this. He’s out of town, preoccupied with a personal matter with family in Ohio, and I’m not even sure if he knows yet that it’s snowed here.
