Baby, It's cold outside! Updated 4:30 PM

Working from home today, just have calls with people in Chicago at the mother ship (code for company HQ). Took part of my lunch hour and went outside and shoveled snow. It was harder than doing Wii Fit that's for sure.

Weather.com says it is 9 degrees, but feels like -8 degrees. Started up both cars and let them run for 5 min, in case we need to get out tonight. With no snow in the forecast, will try to get to work, if they lift the Level 2 Snow Emergency in Licking county.

Level 1 = Be cautious, roads slick
Level 2 = Stay off the roads, call ahead before leaving home to make sure things are open.
Level 3 = Too dangerous to be out, get a ticket if caught driving.

Bought an ergonomically correct shovel last year, looks weird but it does make it easier. I like it a lot. You can tell because it has an "S" shape in the handle.

Put some salt out, Angela said it was a waste of time, but did it any way. Well the laws of physics are still true and the driveway is melting off, what I could not shovel off. If the sun would come out, things would dry up some.

Get some hot tea, I like cinnamon stick tea from Bigelow, and relax. If you are reading this, it's warmer than being outside.
