Snow Day

Geez I almost forgot I even had a blog it's been so long since I posted to it... Anyway, just sitting here at the computer enjoying the news that we have a snow day tomorrow. Thinking about snow days and all of the activities you enjoyed as a kid pales in comparison to the activities you get to avoid as an adult. For example: As a kid you might enjoy making a snowman, while as an adult you may enjoy not having to drive to work surrounded by a bunch of people that do not know how to drive in the snow. Also, as a kid you may enjoy having snowball fights while as an adult having to find adequate parking beside snow drifts caused by plows can be somewhat of a nightmare. On a tangent, my sister who wanted to move where she could enjoy snow has learned to dig her car out of these "snow drifts" before she can even get to work. I'll take that as 1 point for me.
I must admit that after having lived in a state where snow was no big deal and a fairly regular occurance, it is mind-boggling to now live in a state where the mention of snow causes the town to shut down. Several weeks ago there was a chance of a "dusting" of snow accumulating to less than an inch, thus no school. Grocery stores were raided and the town was in panic mode. When I look back on going to school in several feet of snow accumulation, I sit back and enjoy how good things are here. This circus of a performance for snow is calling for some accumulation between 1 and 3 inches, I expect we shall be out of school the majority of the week, maybe longer.
Other than the recent craziness in the weather, things down here are pretty good. I just want to know where global warming is when you need it... (I seem to be adjusting to the weather down here and find myself needing to wear coats and sweaters at 50 degrees where that would be t-shirt weather for me a few years ago)
