SNOW DAY!!!! You know the weather is bad when work sends you home with pay!
Holy smokes is the weather ever bad out!! At 1:30 my co-worker poked me (I have headphone on listening to the radio) & said come here & look outside!
I stood up & saw nothing.. literly nothing... I said is that snow? He said come look! I went into the office & OMG its a blizard of snow & freezing rain!! Last time I looked outside it was blue skys :(
The second we returned to our cubicals (we share a huge one), Alex (HR)said hes typing up an email right now telling everyone to GO HOME NOW! The weather is really bad & getting far worse... :(
I called Chad to let him know that I was off early & was heading home. He said no stay there, I'll leave work in 15 mins & will come & pick you up. He called an hour later & said that he hit a pole but there was no damage, it was just a light bump. He then called again a few mins later in a shaky voice. He said everyone was only doing 20km/hr (thats the slowest my car registers) & everyone came to a dead stop & he nearly hit the car infront of him cause non of the cars were stopping, as its shear ice!! He said hes still ok, but there is a transport blocking traffic, so he has no idea when he'll be here. I said I don't care, just be careful!
I just got a call from Chad again & he was able to turn around & go back up that road to a larger road. He said its moving fine & will be coming down Herontario, which means he'll be a VERY long time. Herontario is a super packed road, as it connects to all the 400 series HWYs (I think theres 3 of them) & it goes right through Mississauga & Brampton (a LOT of people commut).
The radio has said there are a lot of 20 car pile ups so can we please hold Chad & Tristian in our thoughts that they'll make it here ok & we'll make it home ok. + all the other people trying to get home.
