    It's snowing here (Durham)! It's enough to have turned everything white - of course, it's supposed to change over to freezing rain and then rain. Current forecast is 1-3 inches + 1/4" ice accumulation. They didn't close our office, but I'm not going in (and I don't know very many people who are). 35 miles on I-40 each way in this is not my idea of a good time.....Plus if I work at home I don't have to wear a suit

    lol - I have on my "snow" clothes today - I am an administrator in the local school system & on these days I wear jeans & hiking boots. (If you could see where my house is you'd know why!) Today I also have on a lambswool retro bike jersey. All I have to do is hope the superintendent doesn't stop by my office!

    Schools are closing at noon....

    Heh - they closed schools here before it even started. Actually probably a good move, since we're lacking in the snow removal equipment department down here The bikes are staying in today - they did manage to brine all of our roads Don't want to do that to a nice bike.....

    Oh I agree - Godiva (my bike) is sitting on the trainer right now, waiting for me to get home this afternoon. She likes to stay clean and dry....(and so do I!)

    My beautiful (yet to be named) Trek 520 is waiting patiently on my trainer too. Time for an ECT session tonight, I think.....

    Godiva - what a great name

    Well...that's because she's naked. She is a ti bike & was too pretty to put paint on!

    I'm home today in the snow too -- very pretty out in the woods. It looks like it may have just changed over to partly freezing rain here in Orange Co. Ugh! I ran yesterday and ride the trainer tomorrow, so I think I'll just lift a few weights and do some ab work today at home and call it good.

    Glad you stayed home too, CA!
