We are having our second snowstorm in as many days. I have to admit, though, there is something delicious about a snowstorm when you have nowhere to go. Lighting a fire in the fireplace, eating junk food and staying in our pajamas all day long is not a horrible way to spend a day.
On days like this, I don't miss working outside. Directing traffic in the middle of a snowstorm was not kick-ass, I have to say. Although, sometimes it was fun working a snowstorm. Sometimes, people drove just as you are supposed to drive in a snowstorm. No accident reports to take, and I could just sit in the temperature-controlled warmth of my squad car and watch the snow fall ever so softly.
The snow must sometimes have a calming effect because for some reason, we didn't get a lot of domestic calls during snowstorms. Which was a good thing, considering that it took forever to get anywhere, even with your lights and sirens on.
And on the subject of domestic disturbances, a little bit of trivia. Allegedly, Super Bowl Sunday is the day on which the most domestic batteries occur. Think about it.
Sadly, it makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

Football sucks. Wow that feels good to say. I never heard about the domestic violence/football link, but now I have yet another excuse to hate it.
