Snow day? Not quite.

Rise at 6:00 to newly fallen snow, and a reminder of why I never watch local news broadcasts. Apparently there were "horrendous conditions" in Hartford, if I were to believe the banner across the bottom of the screen. In other words, some snow & slush with a 90% chance of local news trying to make an ordinary snow storm seem newsworthy.

Log in to check on the weekend runs, and coordinate a bit with one of the customers on a failed job. Grab some breakfast and head out to clear the driveway. While using the snow-blower, a crack and loud bang as a tree up the street loses a branch and crosses the power lines. Power goes out on the street, but by the time I've completed clearing the driveway and back stairs, a police car, fire emergency vehicle, town maintenance and power company truck have all been by and power is restored. It's good to live in this part of town.

Out to work, cleaning up some items and working with the BA on comparing QA and Production, in order to make sure we are ready for the next phase of development. Lunch, and then working on the agenda for tomorrow's group meeting. Ah, the exciting life of an office drone.

New, slightly menial, work arises in the afternoon. Going through the file systems on the servers to see where we are chewing up space (about 3TB in use). Amazing how much we have available to us, and we immediately fill it. Even 10 years ago, volumes like this were unheard of (at least in business).

Home, dinner of leftovers, and practicing Intergalactic Boogie Express. Some good progress and quality work, though tempo and maintaining the triplet feel are still areas that need a whole lot of work.

To bed relatively early (10:00), feeling more tired than I thought I would.
