Subject: More snow!

More snow! Got about 5 inches in KC and its still falling and so is the temperature! No school tomorrow. I really have things I need to get done! Oh, well, on the bright side, it is beautiful outside but I don't have to get out and drive in it. I will have to shovel but I get to turn OFF the alarm. Sadly, the snow hit hard during rush hour, messy drive for most people. A normally 10 minute drive took an hour or more. Fortunately, my drive was only a few minutes longer than normal. The storm is headed now to the East Coast. Enjoy it when it gets there on Friday.

Uh oh Deb!
When your area gets frozen precip, that's usually a good indicator of what's in store for us a day or two later. :)
And, we only have two available "snowdays" left before they start adding them back on to the end of the year.
There's snow in our forecast for this evening with a strong possibility of accumulation.
Thanks for the advanced warning!
Stay warm!

Time to go to work now - talk to ya later!
- BC :)

We finally have enough snow here to have a snow day! Hooray! I've really missed the snow. It's so pretty!
On today's agenda: Bundling up the little guy in his snow suit to go play outside.
Be careful on the roads, everyone!

The sun was out yesterday here and I thought some of our snow would start to go away, but, it hasn't.

Everybody who has to go out in it, be careful!

Snow-packed streets in the neighborhood. Haven't seen the snowplows yet but if I have to get out I have all-wheel-drive so no worries. I shoveled the drive and a path for the dogs this morning so I am going to stay in and get work done this afternoon.

Wow Deb!
We need to figure out how to send some of that to Heather in Florida.
'cause even though I appreciate you guys sending it "eastward" - I don't want to be "greedy" - so, I'm willing to share.
All we need here in TN is just about an inch or so - to close schools tomorrow! :)

Well BC, we will be getting about half an inch more tomorrow and then about 4 to 7 inches is forecast again for Sunday. So be prepared. Man, too bad Kansas doesn't have mountains, we could open a ski resort pretty soon! But the eastern part of the state is hilly and there are some great sledding locations!

Uh oh! Thanks for the "warning" Deb! :)
We've already received the first "go round" - about 3 inches so far.
Thanks again though! 'cause it was enough to close our county schools - giving us a "three-day" weekend ...
but, I think I'm still gonna have to go to MTSU today.
- luckily my Friday class doesn't begin until 10:20 a.m.
- so I should be able to make it ok if I get an early enough start.
Thank goodness I have some tires with tread on them now! :)

Yep, Kansas definitely should consider the possibility of opening a winter ski resort of some sort! :)
On the level part of the "lowlands" maybe you guys could offer "cross-country" skiing?!
For the "hills" - I have three wooden "Radio Flyer" sleds if you want to borrow them?!

I can still remember my middle son (years and years ago - back when he was in elementary school)
he had a pet chicken (of all things :) at the time! :)
anyways, I can still see them in my mind ...
sledding down the hill together in front of the house where we lived back then ...
and, "Henrietta" sitting with "J" on the sled - "flying" down the hill together! :)

Have you ever been snow skiing?! I'd like to try sometime.
- but, I would definitely have to start out on the "beginner's slope"! :)
- BC :)

I could say the same thing about you. lol

It's called insomnia, and it seems to be my best friend lately.
