Do you See what I See?

Update: Katelyn just called me a few minutes ago to inform me that she made it back to the dorms. :) This was right as I was watching the news and seeing that they had just finished cleaning up a 40-50 car pileup on the highway by Cheri. It started as a 3 car accident and people continued to crash because they could not see due to blowing snow. Thank you God that she's back safely once more!



(Jennifer P.,here's thinking of you)
Do you see what I see? Same as me, basically nothing, (this is actually a time when it's a bit better) except blowing snow. I seriously cannot believe this weather. Church was not canceled for us this morning but we didn't go. Thankfully, this was the first Sunday in 5 weeks that I didn't have to teach or play, so I was happy. I would not have wanted to drive in this, this morning. You could not see anything. I just received an email that it is canceled for tonight. Good thing, we're just sitting by the fire. But, Katelyn has to get back to the dorms today. She's leaving this afternoon while there is still some daylight. Will this weather ever end? (I'm still not going to complain)

Slippin' and Slidin'


I didn't really have a lot to say today but Dena advised me to talk about this crummy weather we have here today. This morning we had a storm come through which caused a lot of icy roads which then turned to slush. It came through right around daybreak when schools decide if they will cancel for the day. At 6:30 there was still nothing much cancelled in my county. Then at 7:00, I heard a cancellation for Cheri's schools. I gave her a call, to her relief, because Nick had just headed out to the bus. Chelsea continued to hope but to no avail. It does seem that our school system hesitates greatly to delay or cancel. As the day continued, it began to rain. This is what our deck looked like this afternoon. All the ice was melting off and now it is just very slushy out there. It was not fun delivering papers this afternoon. We all looked like drowned rats - no I did not want a picture of myself looking like that. Sorry! Tonight we are going to Shaelyn's Christmas program at school. Hopefully, I'll have some pictures for tomorrow.
