Apparently our local weather forecasters were too busy watching the Super Bowl last night and didn’t pay too much attention to the weather. They had told us there was an upcoming chance of snow – albeit a light dusting to occur tonight. But all of Little Rock awoke this morning to find, instead, a few inches of snow sitting on the ground.
I woke up this morning and eagerly called the inclement weather number for my office, anticipating a recording saying that the office was closed and that I could sleep in for a few more hours. But my heart sank as the robot voice sadly informed me that the office was open, and that it was "business as usual." We could stay home if we wished, but it would require burning a vacation day. I’m trying to save up my PTO time, so I grudgingly got ready and went to clear off the snow from the car.
The traffic wasn’t bad this morning, since every one else was safely at home. I got to work on time at 8am, only sliding once on the way. Most of my fellow co-workers never came in, and the office was eerily empty. It was quiet, except for the constant weather updates coming from distant cubicles. Everyone who made it into the office was waiting for the chance to leave as quickly as they could. At noon, after a few more inches of snow fell, they finally told us we could go home.
But after safely making it back home, I grabbed the camera and headed out to a few places for some pictures. One of those places was the Big Dam Bridge, in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
