So, we've been expecting snow tonight and tomorrow. Real snow, actual accumulation, not just a few flakes that melt before they hit the ground. Possibly significant accumulation.
I love a snow storm, and I love watching the pre-snow storm panic almost as much. Everyone, get to the store and buy eggs, milk and bread! Now! The french toast gods must be appeased! This time is great because it's happening on a weekend. All the fun of a storm, and minimal disruption.
The only problem today is that we have reservations at Panciuto, a really nice restaurant in Hillsborough. It's an occasion so we'd really rather not cancel. On the other hand, we don't want to be driving home on an icy interstate.
It wasn't supposed to start snowing until about 9, and our reservation is at 7:30, so we thought we'd be fine. Then a few minutes ago, I checked weather.com and their map showed that it was snowing here already. I chuckled at that -- even the weather map is panicking needlessly! Then I went and looked out the window. What do you know, it's snowing. Looks like it has been for a while.
I think we're still going to go to Panciuto. Because it's not supposed to get below freezing until around 11pm. So the roads shouldn't be icy tonight. Still, we'll probably leave early. I'm assuming they'll have no-shows, which will allow them to seat us early.
