snow day

We were ready - a "massive" storm was predicted. Gas in the cars - check. Gas at home for the snowblower and the generator - check. Fridge full of necessities - o.j., chocolate, root beer - check. Library books waiting to be read - check. DVR loaded with favorites - check. OK - bring it on!

The lake has finally frozen. All the schools in the area are closed. There's an icy layer beneath the snow. All the cars coming up the hill are definitely traveling at reduced speeds. The "massive" storm dumped about 3 inches at our house.

No one will be shopping today. Do I really want to slide 10 miles into town to open the store?

Firewood ready - check. Hot chocolate and marshmallows in the cupboard - check. Snow day for JOOLZ - check.
