I did that thing I suggested earlier: I "commuted" the half mile to the apartment leasing office where they have a residents' "business office" with a computer. The weather was pleasant but the surface treacherous, while the "computer" was an Apple so locked down with access rights and parental controls that it was impossible to establish a secure VPN connection. So I had to undertake the brutal ride back, and at a walking pace. Literally, since my son was walking beside me, laughing about the school closing on such a nice day.
But, at least I can say I commuted during the historic Atlanta ice storm of 2014. FWIW.
