Well, I woke up early this morning to find out if they closed our office (and they have) so I don't have to work today, but seriously...I'm looking outside and it really didn't snow all that much up here (not compared to last week).

BUT, I guess it's supposed to get worse in my neck of the woods later on today with 6" to 12" accumulating throughout the day and then even more tonight. They're advising people not to be out on the road...and they've already got the National Guard out helping everyone out as well as calling it a state of emergency yesterday.

We've still got drifts higher than people out on the side of the roads and whatnot, but I guess the roads are somewhat clear (or so they say). The lady on the news is describing it as a big "ice sandwich" because there's a layer of snow (that didn't melt from the first blizzard), a layer of ice (from the snow that kept freezing over and continued to not melt from the first blizzard...this including ruts and whatnot from people getting stuck in the road...makes for a bumpy ride) and now we have another layer of snow on top of that. Regardless of what I think it looks like out on the road, they are not advising driving because little cars like mine, I guess, would struggle out on the roads this morning. Better play it safe, I guess...

I'll go into work on Sunday if I can. The snow is supposed to stop by then, but unfortunately, the business is not stopping...and we're the only ones that can't work from home...so, the more we don't have to go to work, the further I get behind at work and I see no end in that.

PLUS, got this baby coming here within the next 2 weeks...I feel bad for the poor girl who's taking my spot. It normally is not like this doing my job and she's seen some insane amount of paper cross my desk/her desk. I'm surprised she hasn't quit yet...I feel horrible :(

Anyway...my friend is going to dig her Blazer out ( don't think it's going to buried at all) and she's going to come pick me up and we're going to go to Target because we need some things. I need hangers so I can finish my laundry...and she needs some eggs so she can bake (hopefully there are eggs because people are hoarding groceries - and gasoline...we've run out of gas at gas stations)...

Have a great day ya'll!

I will leave you with a snowman (the snow we're getting today is good snowman snow...it's heavy, wet, and compact)

Ooh, Frosty! You should make a little snowdog--it'll be cute. And you get fresh air+a little excercise. ;)

my mom talked about weather like that in New York. Where, one year, the snow/ice was so bad, the power was out for a week or longer in some parts. She was lucky in the sense that living with her mother still, they had a gas stove/oven and her mom was constantly baking; keeping the house at a comfortable {compared to outside} 60 something degrees. Its lucky that you guys still have power.

I haven't built a snowman in a long time. Come to think about it, I don't think I've ever built one. I like the snowball fights more.
