Keep safe out there. I'm mostly prepared, although I need to go out tomorrow morning for toilet paper just in case. We've cancelled the game so Brenda and I won't be trying to make it home in freezing rain. Monday's commute should be positively wonderful. And mind you, today was in the 50s. Temperatures are expected to plummet to lows in the single digits and highs in the 20s. Not fun. They're already reaching out to the homeless to get them in during the cold, and doing what they can with the roads, although with the rain coming first, that means pre-treating is practically useless, I think. I hope this is winter's last hurrah.
