I Feel Like Nanook of the North

This is how it looks outside my front window. What the picture doesn't capture is the blowing snow. It's not whiteout conditions, but the visibility isn't great. We haven't gotten the six to eight inches of snow--my guess is four to five inches--but it's still snowing. The temperature is dropping, and is now 12 degrees F.

I foresee a problem in that they're going to need to snowplow tonight, but the temperature is going to drop to -20, so they're not going to want to send people out.

 

The good news, at least for me, is that Lincoln canceled work tomorrow. Kudos to them for canceling early instead of waiting until we're almost out the door. So I effectively get another day of vacation. And I sure as heck am not going anywhere.

A Real Mess

The pilot light on my furnace (I think) has gone out again, tonight of all nights. I've called the maintenance people, but they said that the city has stopped plowing, so they're going to have a hard time getting to me. Right now, the indoor temperature has dropped from 72 to 64, which is okay so far, but tonight, it's supposed to drop to -20 outside. Why does the freaking pilot light go out? This is the second time that this has happened.
