It's actually supposed to warm back up to 60 for the weekend. But people are still trying to retrieve abandoned cars today (Thursday).
I had to hike the same 3+ miles back to my car yesterday. My parents were going to drive me to it, but traffic was still so backed up I told them not to bother. Since I had my old ski parka and my dad's long johns, hat and gloves, it wasn't nearly as bad of a hike. I still could only make it back to their house so I still haven't made it to my home (hope no pipes froze!)
Today at 1pm I tried to make it to work and made it through. Only 3 of us have, though and I'm leaving early to avoid icing because roads are still wet and they'll freeze again come night time.
We even had two unfortunate co-workers who got caught in a skid-wreck less than a mile from our office and who had to sleep here all of Tuesday night and then had to hike miles and miles Wednesday to reach home. Considering we don't even have a sofa in our office (anywhere!) and only a bizarre mix-match of left over food in the fridge, it had to be pretty miserable for them (neither of them came in today).

It's been a crazy week.
