At this writing, we have four inches of snow (.032 cubic hectares for our metric readers). The forecast suggests that we'll double that and then some before the day is over. We have a couple of plans for the afternoon and will make a decision late morning. I don't mind a day at home. I have school work and work work aplenty.
Late-season winter blasts are nothing new. I'm not sure that I'd even call this a late-season event. Last year we had a hard freeze in mid-May. The crocuses were peeking out in the warmer parts of our yard a couple of days ago. They're not silly. They grow based on the ground temperature, which is getting progressively warmer even as the air above does its own weird thing.
The April Fool's Day storm of 1997 was as big a storm as you'll get, two feet of white cement. That's another thing about later-season storms - the snow contains much more water. A mid-January storm can have a fluff factor of 15:1 - 15 inches of snow for each inch of melted liquid. Storms during April and May can have ratios down to 8:1.
I was working at a small startup in Westford. (We were building a $100K 100GB fileserver.) Our CEO and CFO were scheduled to start their big roadshow that would prepare investors for our initial public offering later in the year. Important meetings were scheduled for New York that day and later in Miami.
The execs went to the airport while the rest of the crew was back at the office. (Working from home wasn't much of an option. The company shared a single 56K modem line at its corporate Internet connection. Microsoft's PPTP was just rolling out and not well understood.) We got hourly updates about their attempts to get on one flight and then another throughout the day. At day's end, they were still at Logan and the money guys were still in New York. At six o'clock, we dug out our cars and drove home. I'd be back 12 hours later for another day.
The roadshow was rescheduled and we had our IPO in the summer. IIRC, the strike price was $5.00. It briefly peaked at $5.25 and never saw those levels again.
If you're a New Englander, you can't get very far by trying to blame your troubles on the weather. The April Fool's Day storm had almost no effect on the company's fate. We earned our bad luck from our own hard work.

More on work and clothes
If I stand on a chair, I can see the end of the semester. Between now and then is plenty of school work, a paper, a presentation, exams, 'n such, but it'll all get done. I need a much bigger chair, though, to see beyond that, a chair even bigger than Gardner's big chair.
via Zippy The Pinhead: "Well-Endowed"
A time is coming when I'll need to buy some interviewing clothes. I'm mindful of Thoreau's caution about new clothes (which is more about changing ourselves rather than about our clothes.) My current jacket is, I kid you not, an $8.00 special that I picked up at the Sears outlet store last fall. I remember fondly that, when Barney Frank ran for re-election as state rep in 1974, he had a poster that proclaimed "Neatness Isn't Everything."
Today's Boston Globe has a style supplement, How to update a classic blazer, with some guidance for the man in need of help. The featured article of clothing is a blazer, around which we're to build several wardrobes. Their recommendation is for a Reporter "Quick Jacket" that runs a cool $595.
Buy a really good jacket and it'll all make sense. Pfft. The jacket is just the down-payment. I'll need a $275 shirt, $495 shoes, and, well, it's clear that we headed in the wrong direction.
My new degree suggests that I should be looking for a job as a paralegal. Might then some blogs that cover paralegal careers be helpful. Let's see.
Practical Paralegalism often has some good tips. Last Monday's post was titled Paralegal Career Dressing. Almost. The subtitle is Flower Brooches from JKW Jewellery. There's a picture of Carrie Bradshaw. I opened the wrong door.
A link in an earlier post showed some examples of what a male paralegal might wear to lunch. The prices have moved from Newbury Street to your basic shopping mall. That's probably the best that we can do.
It'll also depend on the type of work I seek as a BBC correspondent discovered when reporting on the minimalist dress code of the Amazon's Awa people.
Did I mention that I finally had to retire my red paisley suspenders (braces to you folks across the pond)? I bought them at Spag's for five bucks a dozen years ago.
I don't mind looking good. I just don't want to be afraid of my clothes. I don't do well when I am spending more time thinking about how I look rather than how I'm thinking.
