    Another Winter Storm

    We are just getting the first few inches of snow from our storm moving in. I cleaned out the driveway at 5:45 this morning, and there is already another 2 inches on the driveway. They are calling for 9 to 14 today/tonight/tomorrow. School is cancelled today. My daughter left for college this morning....a community college 20 miles away. Her friend is picking up a group from our town in a big 4 dr truck and they are all riding together. Scares me having them out on the roads when they are this bad. I hope they cancel the college classes for tonight.....otherwise I will be driving in it at 5:15. I only have 1 extra this morning since school was cancelled. We are going to bake cookies this morning. Hopefully it is a quiet day.

    Hope you have fun making cookies! Good day for it! My boys are home today b/c of no school. One family did not come b/c their mom was off work (she teaches). We got 11-12 inches last Friday & we are supposed to get about 6-8 in more in the next day or two!

      What part of the state are you in? I am in the Grand Rapids area. It is coming quickly down here as well. untill my registered account gets approval, May I ask what you do for marketing to get you name out in public. Craigslist is very cut throat here so I need several avenues in starting to get my home daycare going. This waiting game with the state in order to have kids in my home legally may just drive me nuts.

        I wonder if you all are getting the storm that just passed through here. Is it coming in from the Southwest? Although we only got about 6 inches. I was also shoveling the drive yesterday morning. Very wet snow...and perfect for Snowmen! Mmm Cookies sound good.

                  I miss good snow storms. I can't remember the last time we had a really good snow. I think it was about 6 years ago!

                      it was count day state wide, however I think the dep. of ed gave the schools another date to due to the weather and told schools in advance that if they closed the wouldnt be an issue.

                        I had no kids yesterdy or today. I love this weather. Saturday we had 14 inches of snow and yesterday we got another 16 or so. This is great. We've been "spared" the last few winters. But to my dismay. So, I say bring it on. I heard there is another possiblility of snow for monday. We can only hope
                        I'm in Central PA.

                          You guys, so lucky! It is finally snowing in Texas (DFW) but I still have to work today. My daughters have to go school haha! It should be around 3 inches but no ice.

                            And any of you northern folks who get worried about snow, you should head to TX for a snowstorm once. The phrase is "God put it there, God will take it away" is policy. Little if any plowing, sanding, etc.

                            I'll take 40" of snow in IA over 4" in Dallas any day.

                              LOL! Love it!!! Maybe true but not fun when b/c you got too much snow the mailman won't walk your route, the snow plows only cover the main roads & not your road & even when most of the snow is gone there is a ton of black ice there ready to take you by surprise.
