The forecasters didn't disappoint us this time. Their predictions of snow and sleet were correct! Schools were cancelled already yesterday at 5:45 p.m. in anticipation of the "major" snowstorm. (We have learned since living in the south that "major" usually means a dusting of snow - if that.) This time "major" meant "major". It started to snow in Spring Hill at about 10:45 a.m. and we got about a 3" accumulation. It's been snowing all day and around 4:00 switched over to sleet. I can hear the sleet hitting the window while I'm typing. In watching the late afternoon news, we might get another 3" of snow overnight. Thankfully Steve's office closed early and he was home before the roads got too bad. We all played outside for awhile. Jenna has been outside the most playing with her friends. Seth and some of the younger boys in the cul-de-sac cleared off an area to play hockey. All they needed were the ice skates! Today was the perfect day for a big pot of baked potato cheese soup and some crusty bread. I always like baking on snow days and made some chocolate chocolate chip cookies. We're ready to hunker down for the evening and play some Wii and watch DVD's. As long as the electricity stays on, we'll be fine.
