It is still snowing, but I shovelled off the porch and driveway. Very pretty snow, lots of big snowflakes blowing in a strong wind.

I had the oven on this morning, electricity went out during the night. The house was cold.

I'll clean it in the spring.......................:wah:

WOOOHOOOOO Chonsi...I'm so glad you have the day off:-4



Hello Odie and Jester:-4



I can't believe it. My neighbor next door shovelled me out. He shovelled all around my house, my stoop, my car, walking path and a path to pull my car out.



WOW......:-4:-6I always have nice men living in this rental home next to me. I will thank him and buy a nice gift cert to a popular restaurant in town. That was so nice of him to do;)



I have a feeling that we won't have school tomorrow:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl Told you I was worse than the kidlets:rolleyes:

Oh no....has your heat gone back on again Chonsi???? I hope so.



Do you think you'll have off tomorrow? It's still snowing here until this afternoon...wooohooooo:D

Oh, two days in a row! That would be cool!

What a lovely neighbor you have, how kind of him to shovel everything for you.

I know, I can't believe he did that. I was all set to get dressed to start shovelling...and NOW I have to go back to bed with a big mug of coffee.



HUMMMMMMM.... wonder who I could get someone to make me brekke....rashers with maple syrup, brekke sausages, scrambled eggs and homemade bread sounds good. Maybe Nomad could cyber something over. He seems to have a lot of time this morning setting up chores for you to do;)

1 word.

Warm blueberry muffins right out of the oven.

Browned slightly crusty top. Moist flavorful muffin packed with sweet plump blueberries that pop in your mouth.

Awesome for you!

that was really nice of him!

now you can play here all day!:guitarist:guitarist

still more snow....another snow day tomorrow?



yippee!

Wow, it is snowing hard still. The porch is all covered that I shovelled off! No shopping for me today! :wah:

Goodness, you all are getting pounded. Hope if you you go out you are careful. Not that you don't know how to drive, it is the other drivers that have no clue as to how to drive in snow.

Time off? Take some time for yourselves. House chores can wait. Read, watch a good movie, whatever, just enjoy. :-6

That sounds good Sunshine....I will be relaxing today for sure. Plus, I hate to drive in the snow. Ever since I moved to the shore, we rarely have much snow except for a Noreastern like this one. I forgot how to drive in snow:-5

Ahhhhh, thanks Odie. I'd love another day off and don't mind making it up in June.

Hey Kathy ellen! Hahahaha after I talked to you on Saturday and you thought we were gonna get more than you? Looks like you got more than us! So far, about

6" for us and just enough to mess up traffic. Kids are all off and we got the call last night. We went out to Applebee's around 5ish and walked out into the snow just coming down lightly.

Hey Chonsi:-6



I just noticed that you're still up....Are you off from school tomorrow:wah:



I've just spent the last 2 hours getting ready for school tomorrow. I had to catch up on bits and pieces.



My neighbor next door shovelled me out this morning....man, wasn't he sweet, and the plows backed my car in again with tons of snow and ice.

It took me forever to rock the car back and forth to get over the ice.



It's finally out and warming up. I kept checking my phone to see if I got a call saying that we have a delay for tomorrow and no call was forthcoming:(





So, I'm getting ready for bed and decided to check my school email. Low and behold....there's a message that my district is closed tomorrow. It seems that my phone was not in its cradle and 2 of my friends have been calling me since 5 to let me know school is closed:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl



Wooooohoooooo....our snow dance worked, didn't it......

Sorry for the long story....I'm so excited......:wah::p:D:rolleyes:



You do have off right:sneaky:

:wah: I measured 10" of snow in my yard. I'm going to Klees for lunch tomorrow....I'll walk over since there's no place to park if I take my car:wah:



Do you like Applebees?

Oh, that made me go look at the school page. A two hour delay! But I will have to prepare in case someone needs to sub last period, I have an appointment, for a root canal.

Enjoy another day off, Kathy! They might call ours too, they wait until 8:30 to check on the roads before calling it.

oh god bless!

And I'm sleeping in to six tomorrow! I warned my husband ahead of time-wanting to get up at 5 for breakfast like a work day this morning! Good grief!

six?

I thought you had the day off?

No, I only have a two hour delay. If they call the day off, it will be at 8:30, after they check the streets for the buses. But I hope they call it, the streets are not nice to drive on. We got about 7-8 inches here.

Gosh, I love your Snoopy avatar!

so what does a 2 hour delay mean, they will call you later?

Hello Odie and Chonsi:-6



Odie, I feel that you're living vicariously through Chonsi and me waiting for another snow day.....we're the 3 amigos..... Wish you guys could cyber yourselves over to the beach, and we could all go to Klees with the bees for some pub grub. I'll think about both of you tomorrow.....



Order up and I'll cyber it over......



Chonsi, I feel it in my bones that you'll have off tomorrow:guitarist

Odie;1149684 wrote: so what does a 2 hour delay mean, they will call you later?

Odie,



A 2 hour delay means that your school opens 2 hours later so you can get your car shovelled out and your local roads will be a bit safer to drive on...If your school normally opens at 7 AM, then you have until 9 AM to get there.



At one time, my school district never closed. We always had a 90 minute delay. Now, we have some nasty ice storms and a big noreastern once in a bit. So, our district is wiser now and will make a decision earlier to just close the schools. They usually let us know the night before or at least by 4 or 5 AM that our schools will be closed.
