The weather sucks at my place

Winter was really pissed in the Upper Midwest today. Heavy, wet snow starting falling last night, and accumulated to about 5-6inches troughout the day. To add insult to injury the heavy snow took out the power in our neighborhood at about 4am, causing me and the rest of the household to loose precious sleep and be in a really pissy mood as we got up in the pitch black to go to work. Driving in was a real mess, with just about eveyone sliding all over the road way. I almost got in an accident at least three times, and this was traveling about 30 blocks downtown on a city street. Luckily it was a slow day at work, with more than a few people not making it and a vast majority of clients staying home.

And then, when I get home from work and power on my rig, I find the outage has blown out my USB hub. Thankfully my two external hard drives were not affected.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
