SnOMG!! '10

Depending on what news source you are watching/listening to, our area is predicted to get anywhere from 18 inches to five feet of snow between now and tomorrow afternoon. I guess we'll wait and see.

9:54am: I don't know when it started, but I just looked out my office window and it's definitely snowing. A little ahead of schedule at this point. Nothing sticking yet.

10:30am: Snow begins sticking to cars in the parking lot. Told to leave work.

10:45am: Home from work. Boys are playing Rock Band... still in their PJs. Hubby working at dining room table... still in PJs.

11:30am: Make meatloaf for dinner and put in fridge. Banking on any power outages we may suffer kindly waiting until tomorrow.

11:45am: Mailman delivers mail. Wonder when we'll see him again?

12:21pm: And the bickering has begun in earnest.

12:56pm: Hubby headed to Giant for last minute provisions. Keep thinking of things we should've gotten. I didn't get bread the other night because we had almost a full loaf. Suddenly we're down to a few slices...

1:21pm: Kids have gone outside to sled/snowboard on the neighbor's hill. Ahhh... nothing but the sound of my keyboard tapping and the space heater and furnace kicking on and off.

2:15pm: Checked in with my friend who is scheduled for a c-section tomorrow at 11am. Asked what her plan is for getting to the hospital tomorrow... or if she just plans on heading there tonight and camping out. She says her husband says their Land Rover will get them there...

4:58pm: Sticking to the road now. Up to 6+ inches. Meatloaf in the oven. Heading outside to burn some energy off J-Mav. He's a wildman.

5:45pm: Inside again. The boys (big and small) are still outside pummeling each other with snowballs. Attempted to do down the hill on the snowboard. Fell on my butt twice. Hubby didn't do too much better on his first couple of attempts, but then improved a little. Time to get dinner together... Caps game at 7.

7:00pm: Wind definitely picking up...

7:45pm: Rink closed tomorrow. J-Mav's skating class and Keeper Boy's game both cancelled. We are officially off the hook for the weekend. Nothin' to do but hunker down and wait for the plow.

9:40pm: Over a foot of heavy, wet snow now. Caps game is over and the win streak is alive (lucky number 13 tonight). Tried figuring out my learn to knit kit... got the casting on, couldn't figure out what to do after that and gave up. Thought it would give me something to do this weekend. Oh well...
