It's snowing here. This is the first time this winter. What this really means is that stuff will cover the ground and everything will freeze before 5 PM and getting home will be a real pain. They may even not have school tomorrow. It's freaky, especially after Chicago, where snow meant simply a more adventurous ride to work/school. Even in Oklahoma, they didn't shut down/delay school until the buses couldn't make it through. Here they have guidlines for what to do if snowfall happens during the school day. Bizarre. :)
In other news, my hard drive has become grossly unhappy. It's looking like we're going to have to reinstall the OS and see what that fixes. It might not fix the problem. It's an old 10 gig drive (on which I have essentially XP, Office, MS Money, and World of Warcraft). So it was pretty much filled to the brim.
The rough part on this is that what would really fix the problem is a new hard drive and new RAM, though I'm not sure I can still buy the type and speed of RAM my system takes...basically, it looks like the damn thing could snowball at any time and require that I buy a new system. I have zero budget for this right now. I can't even afford to get a new hard drive. Michelle is now sad.
