I just now checked our 800 number and we are closed again tomorrow. I think I might have been able to get there on the bus, but it never got above 20 today so all of the ice that was on the roads is still there and in the north part of the city where a lot of our employees are it was even worse. I saw the guy next door back out today and slide into the driveway across the street and then gun it and go no where. We simply don't have enough sand trucks and no plows to clean the streets. They were using a road grader to try and clear the ice so the super bowl teams could get to the Stadium today for media day. The team buses had their own sand truck escorts -- the show must go on.
While I think I could have made it tomorrow, I wasn't looking forward to it because it is only supposed to be 10 degrees with a 20 mph or higher wind which would have been brutal standing at the bus stop for any amount of time.
So off again tomorrow -- today I just laid around, napped and read my book -- did go out to turn the heat up in the greenhouse to hope to keep those plants alive and was grateful I didn't have to be out in it.
