Ice Days

We've been having some pretty exciting weather out here in Kansas City. We had about 4 days of freezing rain. Everything is coated in ice. The rain started on Saturday evening. Nate and I were supposed to go to Lawrence to hang out with our friends, Abby and Mark, but that plan was thwarted by the weather. Then church was canceled the next morning. All week long I've been getting emails from KU and the community college telling everyone what to do in case school and finals have to be canceled because of the weather. School at JCCC was canceled yesterday. Luckily, that didn't affect me or my class because the plans for rescheduling finals sound like a real pain. Nate and a bunch of other Hallmark employees worked from home yesterday. I think most of these cancellations were slight overreactions, but there have been some upsides to all of this as well. For example, Nate and I went to the mall on Monday evening to do some Christmas shopping, and the place was blissfully empty.
