Snow Day 2

Turn on your sound! There's music!




Well, here we go again. I got the call last night that school and my hair salon were closed. We just walked the dogs and played in the snow some, and the ice and slush is deep enough to hold us up. We probably have a total of 8 - 12 inches of "stuff". A combo of snow/ice/slush.

Terry was one of a few employees who made it to work today, and is on his way home as of 1:00. I gave him a small grocery list, but it scares me to let him loose in a store, no telling what he will come home with. In all of this the man wants ICE CREAM!

Justin is loving the time off with Mom. We (meaning I) have been working on making a Pokemon out of paper from the web site. They shouldn't be able to put stuff on their that the parents have to do!

So no mail, no trash pick up, and probably no school for tomorrow...I am getting cabin fever and am actually wanting to go to work. Guess we will just see what tomorrow brings.

Mr. Squirrel Has Breakfast

Well, no surprise here....we are having a snow day. Justin is in watching cartoons and playing his Nintendo DS, and I am on the laptop. It took Terry over an hour and a half to drive to work and I expect he will be coming home early today. All the schools are closed, even Northern Kentucky University which almost never happens. I don't work on Tuesdays so it is not affecting my schedule at all, but I wonder if I will work tomorrow.

These pictures are the view out my front door and off the deck. A very fat squirrel raided the bird feeder for breakfast this morning and he even stood very still when I went out on the deck to take his picture.

Big fluffy snowflakes continue to fall at a fairly rapid rate up to 2 inches per hour, but it is the coming sleet and ice that has me worried about Terry's drive home. I lived in Toledo and am not afraid of the snow, shoot I learned to drive in the snow, but this ice is another story. Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky is just not equipped to deal with the snow and ice like a more northern city, but according to the news, the work crews are doing a great job.

So, here I sit on my computer...nice and warm in front of the fireplace, looking out at the falling snow that looks beautiful from my couch!
