6 Schools Closed + 1 School With A Two Hour Delay = I'm going to work...

It finally looks like we are going to get some snow! I can't tell you how excited I am about this. I just want one big snowstorm and then winter can end. I'm officially saying that winter can end after today, and I'll be ok with it.

Want to know what else is great about big snowstorms?? SNOW DAYS!!

I love my job and am very grateful to have it, but one thing that really stinks about it is that in the winter in order to have any delays or a snow day then ALL the 7 component districts who send their students to us must have at least a delay in order for us to have a delay and vice versa with closing.

So this morning I woke up to the alarm clock and hit the snooze about a bizzillion times, then was woken up by the phone ringing in between my 10 minute snooze intervals. It was the hubba-bub. He was calling to say that he heard on the radio "all" the schools were closed but didn't here DCMO. I said I would check the internet because I haven't done so yet.



 I sign on and this is what I see...

Why? 

Because of this....

 The notorious school for staying open when everyone else closes

 I thought it was important to do some praying to the peer pressure deities in this case. After about 10 minutes of hard praying look what happened....

 

SUCCESS!

From Friday & today!

Snow Snow Snow!

Thursday we were told that we were going to be hit by a big snow storm on Friday around noon. I had school even though 3 out of the 7 schools were closed and of the 4 schools open 3 were closing early. I get to school and find out that the 1 school that was holding out has decided to join the bandwagon and close early too. We all left at 11:30. It had already started snowing at about 11 and the roads were pretty bad. It was falling down very fast. The main roads were plowed, but when I got to Chase Brook and the Mountain they weren't. I just said my little prayer and crawled up the mountain. I wasn't done yet though; I still had to pick up Calla down in Centerville. I drove all the way down to Centerville. The ONLY road that was plowed was Rt.30, and Jen said that the trucks JUST went through. I headed back home and yay! my lane was plowed (the other wasn't). When we got home we just spent the day snuggling, playing, and watching the snow fall! We got a TON!!!!!!!!! :)

Then yesterday we had a break from the snow and went over to Gramma & Poppy Conklin's for a visit. After that we stopped down to Grandma Trask's to pick up our pictures. Then we came home and went to bed.

Calla and I (Crystal) got out of bed at 7 this morning and already the snow had started in. (We were supposed to get another storm today) The storm had started. It is now 1:30ish and the snow stopped falling about 1 hour ago. We had a constant stream of big, fat, pretty snowflakes falling for those 5 hours. We have A LOT of snow. This makes me wish that Calla was a LITTLE bigger so that we could go on snowmobiles, go sledding, etc. Next year :) I think I am going to see if Jen wants to bring the boys up tomorrow to go sledding down the hill in the front lawn and stay for dinner. I think Chili sounds good on a sledding day :)

Where is all the snow?!

Ok so I'm going to be very out of character and ask, "where is all the snow?!" I am serious too! I haven't had so much fun as I did when we went sleigh riding, and I really want to do it again! So please masters of the universe, if you are reading this blog...MAKE IT SNOW-->A LOT!!!

Just had to make that small plea... Sorry if you wish otherwise.
