Neve!

Hoje a previsao do tempo tem falado o dia todo que vai nevar a noite e possivelmente amanha cedo. Eu estou meio ansioso para ver a neve. O pessoal do trabalho que sabe que eu sou do Brasil ja vieram me dizer que hoje seria o dia! Agora a noite eu entrei no canal do tempo e la tem um aviso de atencao por causa da possivel neve. Eu transcrevi abaixo para ficar gravado. Hoje eu tinha planejado voltar do trabalho correndo (desisti de ir correndo por que me dei conta que se fosse correndo nao ia ter blusa para voltar, o ideal seria voltar correndo, era muito ais facil levar a roupa da corrida do que a do trabalho e muito mais sensato chegar zoado da corrida em casa do que no trabalho) mas nao rolou, choveu o dia todo e a temperatura esta beirando os zero graus. Bom, eu nao vou sair pra correr nessas condicoes, prefiro ficar sem treinar :o). Segue o aviso que tem no site do tempo. Vou ficar de olho lah fora...
