Snowstorms are sometimes not fun

This weekend, I was planning on going to the Magic prerelease on both Saturday and Sunday. I was planning on driving home in between those days to sleep.

The problem, is that it looks like there may be a big snowstorm Saturday night. The NWS says that “This is expected to be a potentially life threatening situation for those who venture out during the height of the storm Saturday night and early Sunday.”

So, the options I see are as follows:

• Stick with the original plan. This likely will cut down the amount of sleep I’ll be getting even more than I would expect, since I’ll get home later and need to leave earlier. And then there’s the increased chance of a critical failure.
• Stay at the hotel next door for roughly $200.
• Attempt to stay awake the entire time at the event site. (Events run all night, too, although there are less of them.) This idea is crazy.
• Leave the event earlier on Saturday, and go back later on Sunday if the roads are clear enough. Presumably, the people expecting me there are understanding, but I’d really like to be there as much as possible both days.

Suggestions? New ideas? Rating of how interesting this post is?
