Snowy Day

This is out front of my house at 3 p.m. There's a 4 lane road there somewhere.
Today several of the area schools took a look at the radar and decided to release kids at 1 pm.
Not Isaiah's school. He has math club after school and I called to see if it was cancelled. It was not. It is going on as planned. So he's still in school. Thankfully my dad has a Dr appointment in town today at 3:50 so he's picking Isaiah up before he goes to the Dr.

I'm thankful I don't have to bundle up Naomi and take her out. She needs a nap anyway! She is refusing sleep. I've got the electric blanket warming up and it's just waiting for her and I to jump in!

I'm hoping for a snow day tomorrow! I'd like a 3 day weekend as well as Isaiah. Plus it's always rough on the kids going back to school after a long holiday. This will help ease the transition!

I'm wondering if the administration is having second thoughts as they load our precious cargo onto buses and they drive off on unplowed roads?

Update on Beautiful Ohio

The snow is done!!! Yeah! Compare this photo to the last one in the next post! This is my son going back towards the neighbors to play in the big pile of snow left by the plows. He was out there for 3 hours! The area he's walking in is actually lower than the rest of the yard because Bill had taken the snowblower through there after our last snowfall and made a path to our neighbor Georgia's. (he's her surrogate husband)

Isaiah's carrying a plastic school bus, don't ask me why but he always takes it outside to play in the snow! He is 4 ft 9 inches if that gives you any idea how deep the snow is.

Beautiful Ohio? I think that song is about the river not the weather!

Our crappy garage that needs painted again. The roof was clear yesterday, see the path I made to to the garage at 9 a.m.

This is my mailman. Sorry if I don't run out and get the mail. He's already headed to the neighbors.

Here's the mailman, now across the street delivering the mail to Arby's. See the cars in the drive thru! REALLY? You need a roast beef sandwich that bad!

This photo is out of sequence, still just the mailman walking to the neighbors. Wouldn't you be mad if you had his job and the only mail today was fliers and junk mail!

This is our driveway at about 8 a.m. You can see the tracks from where Bill went to work at 4:30. what you can't see is how deep the snow really is! That slope at the bottom is pretty deep. The snow plow was the 3rd in a row to go through and you can't even tell anything was plowed!
That's a parking lot with snow covered cars across the street to the left.

See the snow storm on the news that's sweeping across the nation?
It's at my house, has been at my house, since last night. It's not supposed to stop snowing until around 7 p.m. tonight. That's 8 more hours of snow! Our driveway was clear yesterday and this morning at 9 a.m. when I made my way out to the garage to get the shovel the snow was up over the tops of my boots. At least it's not bitterly cold outside. It's been a long time since I've seen so much snow so fast!

Our county is under a Level 2 snow emergency. I think that means the roads are hazardous with blowing and drifting snow and if you are stupid enough to go out in it be careful.

My mom is at work. She said people in shopping, buying groceries, paper towels. People are nuts! We had warning this was going to be bad they could have went out yesterday or wait until tomorrow.
