SNOWMAGEDDON!!

Yesterday, all I heard about was the impending doom of...STORMZILLA!  Since I generally avoid watching TV, especially this time of year, most of my information came from my two kids, who were just itching for a snow day.  At my daughter's high school, if the buses are cancelled, the whole school shuts down.  She figured it was National Skip Day anyways, since all the teachers said there wasn't going to be any work.  Just sort of slack off and party.  My son's class was planning a skate at the rink and a party.

Oh, but the SNOWPHOON could change all those plans!  I mean, you can't go to school in a SNURRICANE!    

This morning I got up at 6:30 and looked out at the grey dawn sky.  Nothing.  No wind, not a single flake of snow.  I dug the kids out of bed.

By 8 am there were ten snow flakes casually floating around, not looking all that businesslike.  

By 9 things were getting serious.

By 11 am it was full on.  Tiny hard snow pellets are falling, like they mean it.  I shuffled around the block with the pug.  The snow was up to his belly, making it that much easier to grab a mouthful on the way.  Jethro's session got cancelled today because the musician did not think an hour's drive in this weather was a good way to spend the day.

This is what it looks like outside.

So, we are hunkered down.  Jethro's assistant, (known here as Bubba!) gave us a box set of the Arrested Development first season.  That should take up some time.  (Bubba's sweetie of a girlfriend also came up with SNURRICANE! so she's totally good with me.  She's awesome.)

I suggest wearing blankets today.
