A quandary.

After a long wait, I am finally having knee replacement surgery. My right knee has deteriorated rapidly in the last couple of months, and I am mentally prepared for the surgery, _and_ the physical therapy that follows. This all happens in two days time, on Monday.

Starting today, and lasting until 12:01 am Monday we are having a major winter storm. Some models predict close to 2 feet of snow, and winds of 40-50 miles per hour. A true blizzard.

I love a good snow storm. The kid in me delights in the idea of 2 (TWO!) feet of snow.

But I also want to be able to get to the surgery center Monday morning, and for the roads to be clear enough for my wife to get home safely at the end of the day. And to be able to return to pick me up on Tuesday.

Hopefully the storm does abate by late Sunday evening, allowing the city road crews to clear the streets.
