A great snow day in Boulder. See the weather here. Take a look at Boulder webcams here and here.

I was supposed to go to a seminar today, but the weather is preventing that from happening. I was on the road earlier this morning for an appointment and I decided after that appointment, it was probably best to get off the road.

It isn't the coldest day, nor the worst snow storm, but the roads are incredibly slippery. Coming to every stop was a challenge not to slide all over the road and hit the curb and each start from a complete stop was a challenge in staying within my lane and actually getting the car moving again.

I called the lecturer to let him know that I would not be able to make it and he shared that of the 30+ registered, he hoped to get at least 15 people to show. I was not the only one to cancel.

The awareness today is courtesy. I could have just not shown up to the seminar, but I would rather call and let him know I would not be able to make it. This sounds so basic, but I would bet that the majority of registered attendees will not call, but rather not show up and leave it assumed that they did not make it due to the weather. Have some courtesy towards others.
