Schools closed....yipee!

The temperature didn't get warm enough and the sun didn't stay out long enough to even make a dent in the snowfall or the icy roads. So.....SCHOOL IS CLOSED!!!!

This does not hurt my feelings one bit as I was wondering how I would get my Volkswagen beetle out of the driveway tomorrow morning at crack of dawn and down those icy roads.

I attempted to "shovel" some snow from the walkway today, that was a joke. The layer underneath had completely frozen, which meant once I removed the powered it was just ice and that certainly was not any safer. At least I had the proper equipment this afternoon to even attempt the snow removal. Yesterday I was unable to locate our snow shovel, so I had to resort to the next best thing....the substitute snow shovel a.k.a the kitchen dust pan.

Have you ever tried to scrap an entire concrete patio with a dust pan before? Let me tell you now that is not such an easy job, but I am thinking I burned a TON of calories with my attempt! Of course once I unearthed the patio, I made my way to the shed, only to find I needed to remove more snow, which had piled against the doors. Upon opening the shed guess what I found? Yes, our snow shovel, because everyone knows that is the best place for it, in the shed in the backyard!

Well anyway we will get to sleep in for a bit tomorrow morning, and then reality will set in and I will have to unearth my vehicle as we all know there are no "snow days" from work, at least not where I am employed.

So for those of you who have the benefit of staying home tomorrow, I hope you enjoy your mini vacation. Think of me you can beat your bottom dollar I will be thinking of you!
