It's been snowing since about 2 o'clock this afternoon. It's getting kind of cold tonight.

1.) There is already at least a quarter inch of snow on grassy areas and such. Well, it may be more or less than that, as I am no good at estimating with amounts that small, but it would be enough to cancel school tomorrow at home. (No chance of that here, of course.)

2.) A very thin layer of ice has developed on the steps down from the rest of campus to my apartment. Unless Maintenance gets cracking real good with the salt in a few hours, I am going to live in terror of those twelve or so steps. Each of the treads is already quite narrow, and slants down at just the slightest angle, so I'm not fond of them to begin with. Now I'm just hoping to avoid broken bones.

3.) In pursuit of this goal, I think it might be time to go into Vernon and get some rock salt. Perhaps tomorrow afternoon, especially if Maintenance fails me with their salt and sand solutions.

4.) I'm serious. I already bruised/possibly broke my tailbone on ice at this school; the experience is not one I would care to repeat. Trust me here.

No snow in NH. It was in the 40s yesterday, and will be close today.

*Does the icebreaker dance for you*

*Sends dinos to trample ice as well*

Dude: Two. Words.

Wheelchair ramp.

Seriously, if the steps are that bad, use the ramp (with handy railings occasionally!) and go up the road that goes behind Leonard. Don't die.
