Last Wednesday we had a hectic snow storm. We actually heard thunders before the big chunk of heavy snow, mixed with rain and sleet fell upon us. It took a lot of people by surprise. The freeway in Baltimore, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia turned into a total parking lot. People started at 4 PM trying to get home did not arrive home until 12:30 after midnight. Abandoned cars were littered along Route 83 and the York Road near my office. I WAS LUCKY! I got home before the heavy snow came down, and I did not lose any power, probably because my house is by the Main Street.
Yesterday many people did not make it to the office. Again I was lucky to get in and get back home without any problem. The office was quiet, and the cafeteria only served soup, salad and sandwiches. Poor Lawrence, the chef , was all by himself in the kitchen. Bobby, James, and Brenda all did not make it in at all. Come to think of it, I probably talked a lot more to these folks who work at the cafeteria than many other McCormick people who work at the head office. Sometimes people can be so isolated.
It was a beautiful scene looking outside from my office window:
