Why is it that the weather in this city is always at its worst when I have to walk home after work at 4am? (Well tonight it was only midnight, but still - I even preferred the blowing snow to the cold almost-rain.)

I might be willing to accept that it's just Halifax in January, but still! I've had freezing rain, bitter cold, snow (and at a time of night when the ploughs haven't gotten everywhere and my choices are walk on the street or through a snowbank), and wind that cuts through your clothes.

Weather, I am not impressed.

O Hai Freezing Rain!

So the weather is/was in fact so horrible that the university was closed this morning. I actually got an individual e-mail from Myles telling me not to come to class because he was cancelling it, which amuses me a lot. Classes resume at 1130, but that means that I get to laze about a bit before going to my WWII class.

Last night while I was patrolling one of the first years asked me if I thought school would be cancelled today and I laughed at her. This shows me obviously. But at the point when she asked it was still just powdery snow and much wind, it hadn't started rain-snowing or freezing rain yet.

I think I'm going to buy some cheep rain boots from Canadian Tire on my way to class today because I don't own anything waterproof at the moment.
