Live Blog, Part the Third

8:55 am:

Power has remained on (i.e., no one has tried to simulate a power outage in our house -- cough -- MIKE HAMILTON -- cough).

Mike is driving to work this morning. No school for the kids. Still chilly and rainy, but all I've seen looking out our windows is some downed patio furniture at a neighbor's house. So we were lucky. There don't seem to be as many power outages in the area as I expected, so I imagine we will all have school tomorrow.

Thinking of all the New Yorkers/ New Jerseyans (?) out there. We lucked out around here.

3:06 pm:

The school I work in follows Prince George's County Public Schools for weather-related closings. PGCPS is open for business tomorrow, which means I will be getting my usual early start tomorrow. No announcements from Anne Arundel County yet, but I imagine they don't want to burn through three snow days before the end of October.

Le Pup had a session with the dog trainer this morning. Unfortunately, I think she smells the experience on him, because she is never particularly happy to see him. Either that, or the breeder graduated her from some kind of Protect the Homestead from Old(ish) Bearded Guys Certification Program. I wonder if or when Cookie might figure out that she's small.
