It was a “boredom event.”
Apparently when it snows every other day with accumulations of at least five inches, you can term these storms “snow events.” Who knew?
In other news, I watched the Super Bowl yesterday but cannot give an account for fear of violating the copyright privileges of the NFL. I will say, however, that the only reason I watched most of it is so that I didn’t miss the episode of House that immediately followed. And for large amounts of the game, I ended up instead trying to decipher puppies on Animal Planet by muting the TV (to get rid of the static sound) and staring at the gray blobs. It was sad, but still better than the football that was taking place on my television.
