The State offices in Lansing are closed today due to a snow emergency declared by the city.  It seems that the mayor of Lansing does not want any traffic in city until after the snow emergency is under control.

Now, I have worked in downtown Lansing for 25 years and have never heard of the city declaring a snow emergency.  But then again, in the 25 years that I have worked in Lansing, I have only ever seen one Lansing snow plow and that was just a pickup truck with a blade on the front.

But regardless, it is still a day off with pay and it really is rotten outside so, I am happy to be inside where it is warm.
