It's my term break so I'm off anyway. The night before, I went to the supermarket to stock up, so we have a full pantry, plus light, heat and running water. Not to mention Internet access and plenty of DVDs.

My main concern was (and still is) power outages, which are not uncommon around these parts. At this point our one concession to this is a hand-cranked flashlight/FM radio gizmo.

The snow's finally stopped, but most places will still be closed tomorrow (Friday) and we'll still be digging out all over metro Denver.
