You know you live in the South when...

...you are lauded as a near hero just for walking a few blocks in less than a foot of snow in order to get to work so animals are fed. While yes, people are stuck up on the mountains and can't get in, it was not a particular hardship for me to go in for a half day.

Best purchase this year: snow boots! (I got these in a lovely chocolate brown, for about 50% off. Not a bad deal, and I figure they'll last forever, considering how rarely I'll have to use them.

Oh well, at least the Snowpocalypse gets me out of the traveling portion of my work duties. Schools are still shut down and they're predicting more snow tonight, so I'm not holding my breath for them to be open the rest of the week. *knocks on wood so as not to jinx self*
