Well, the weather looks… beautiful, actually, and not all that bad… but it’s supposed to get nasty around sunset and from the local Fairfax weather warning message comes the sage advice: “TRAVEL CONDITIONS TONIGHT ACROSS THE REGION WILL BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING. TRAVEL IS HIGHLY DISCOURAGED TONIGHT. HELP YOUR LOCAL AND STATE GOVERNMENT FIRST RESPONDERS AND TRANSPORTATION AGENCIES BY STAYING OFF THE ROADS.” So no class tonight and almost certainly no classes tomorrow morning…
Have fun in the snow, remember to alternate hands shoveling and get some pictures of your badass rogue snurpies!
To be sure I have your updated cell phone number email it to me at this email address so I can SMS you any last minute updates!
