The first day of Feb.!

...And with that, just another two months until this horrible weather stops invading my clear blue skies.

That being said, it is important to mention and understand that when schools, businesses and other communities close down for bad weather, my job becomes italicized in making sure I do not miss any information that could possibly happen on hazardous roads or biting temperatures.
Will there be traffic accidents? Yes.
Is there a chance of burglaries due to the cold weather? Maybe.
Do I have to make sure I survive my drive-time commute so I can hear the police scanner, make contacts for canceled appointments and contact the National Weather Service? Hopefully!

The enlightening info out of this is the forecaster I talked to on the phone from State College said this kind of weather is normally perfect, perfectly normal. "With a mix of every kind of precipitation coming down today, this is classic weather," Victor Cruz said.
What he means, snow, ice, freezing rain, sleet and rain are a good mixture to have on a January day.

Does that make me feel better about my drive-time commute? Not especially...looking out the window, it looks awfully dark and cold to be driving around back to Allentown
