Oops.
So, I went over to Dom Flannelcat's house to do some planning for the New Year's Eve Thing. We did some costume design, laid out some backstory, figured out how to build some props and so on with a bunch of other people from Firecat Masquerade. It was fun, and a great break from the dry, technical writing that is most of what I'm doing at the moment.
We were in the sitting room, planning everything out, with the curtains drawn. When we eventually got done, and some of us decided to head for home, it turned out that it had snowed while we weren't watching. Two or more inches of snow on the ground, light and fluffy: cars were in trouble, trains were barely moving (we watched one inch across the nearby rail bridge over about ten minutes), and the world as a whole was coming to a halt. So I'm stuck here tonight, where there is tea and sofa and cat. Woe, woe, etc :)
This weather wasn't due until tomorrow, hence lack of preparedness. Oh well. Snow Day!
