Everyone Is Getting Crazy..Here Comes The Storm...

[Cradle2crayons]

I feel a little bit cheated. We are getting cold weather-it's going to be 19º F in the morning and 17º on Tuesday morning. It's been below freezing almost every night for weeks. But, we aren't getting any snow to make it fun. Really cold weather without at least a sprinkle of snow isn't any fun. We haven't even had 1 snowflake this year. We didn't have any last year either.

Same here. Blah hard freeze warnings blah lah. And only because we have high humidity.

We were stocked up-were. I have a fridge/freezer in the basement in addition to our main one and the freezers were pretty much stocked up and our main fridge had a lot of food. Then we had an ice storm the week of Christmas and lost power for 7 days. I had to throw everything out in both fridge/freezers!

We have a generator so hopefully if the power goes out we will be ok. We lost it in the wind storm last summer for 12 days. That was a nightmare! I was very thankful we had the generator to keep the fridge and freezers running. It would be painful on the pocketbook to lose everything!

Announcing a big ice storm here for us. Freezing rain Warning has been in place since this morning.

All the schools around us are closed! I already had 2 parents call to see if I'm open ( I am). One mom doesn't even have to work , the other does.

All of the school are closed over this way too. Not a single text, call-nothing. Guess I shall see who shows up in the morning! Lol

They even closed GM for 3rd shift here...that NEVER happens!

Our weather is supposed to hit tomorrow afternoon/evening into Tues. I am not too worried though because it tends to just miss us and go about an hour south of where we are. I hope it does though because the cold with no snow is just useless.

We had freezing rain overnight here. I looked out the front window and it didn't look so bad. Until I stepped on the front walk and it's nothing but a sheet of very thick ice. Two bucks of sand and half a bag of salt later and I think my driveway/walkway are walkable. Not sure if schools will be closed or just a 2 hour delay. Lots of back dirt roads for those buses to drive over, they can't be good at all. But I know I'll have extra kids. Most dcps come anyways because up in the north country here, it seems like everybody owns 4wd. Everyone but me.

One family made it-they're the one family that's here no matter what though so *shrugs*

Everybody else called/texted this morning saying they weren't risking the roads and were staying home.

My one that NEVER misses actually missed. She did tell me that she would have to tell her husband that she got stuck and couldn't make it and added that dcb was sick and cranky anyways-she didn't even try (I think she lies quite a bit)...

it is very sad when you feel you need to lie to your own husband about this....wouldn't he feel better knowing his wife and kid were smart enough not to wanna chance it?

the way I worded that makes it sound like the kid actually had a choice ::
