Snowpocalypse

Well, it called for a dusting but we got 1.5". Now, up north the difference between a dusting and an inch is nothing. Here...the whole state shut down. No salt. No sand. No plows. It was 19 degrees and iced up. The state shut down for 4 days.

It was gridlock. The schools dismissed early. Everyone left work to go home. Traffic jams. Accidents. My 25 minute ride took 3 hours! A neighbor left campus 45 minutes after me and it took her 6 hours to get home.

I made it home and went to meet Savannah's bus but as I saw the bus approaching our hill, it turned around and LEFT - the driver wouldn't come down our hill! I had to call the bus depot and have them radio the driver. So, he came back to our street and I met him at the top of the hill to get her. 

4000 local kids spent the night at school. Luckily I was able to meet Savannah's bus so she wasn't one if them!

So, we want sledding!
Gotta love our giant hill!
Grammy - Savannah's boots still fit this year!! Woohoo!
All in all - school was out 1/2 day on Tues and then W, Th, & F were cancelled. At that point we had no snow left, so it seemed kind of silly!!!
