Life as a Physicist

I was planning on going downtown to eat dinner with some friends tonight — downtown Chicago is about 45 minutes from Fermilab. Not going to happen.

The youtube video below is a click taking with my camera. I’m in the car, driving (very slowly) along the road just outside DZERO. That sound you hear is the snow hitting the side of the car — it was mostly snow and a bit of ice (actually, it looks like the youtube encoding algorithm removed a bunch of the high frequency noise). In about an hour over an inch of snow dropped.

Needless to say, I did not go downtown.
