I Am Sooooooooooo Ready for Spring!

Well, we're pretty much snowed in again here.  True, it doesn't take much in this area to bring things to a halt.  But, come on! Two weeks in a row???  Last week we had snow and it hung around for a few days.  Closed schools, businesses, made road travel hazardous.  Even closed the golf course!  It finally melted away by Friday, with just a few little patches where it had been piled up when someone plowed a parking lot.  Friday it was almost 60 here.

Then it got cold again.  Really cold.  And yesterday it started snowing again.  And this time it meant business.  Again, schools, businesses, public transportation all shut down. Even closed the ferries! And today it's not getting above the mid-20's, so it won't be melting any time soon.  Golfer measured out front at around five inches.  Some areas got more.  There have been disabled vehicles on the roads, and wrecks, even though the officials keep saying to stay in.  This area is not equipped to handle large snowfall.  Only the most major roads and streets get cleared and treated.  In your own neighborhoods, you are on your own.

The weather has wreaked havoc on the high school exams.  BeyB was supposed to take hers last week.  Then this week.  Now her school has said they still have to take them, but if their scores hurt their grade average, it will be thrown out and forgotten.  Some of the districts made that decision last week and said "oh, just forget it!"

Golfer went out this morning and shoveled the driveway and walk.  We aren't planning to go anywhere. 

I talked to NurseJ and they are all home and safe.

Bikini says they are all home and safe, too.  Was 9 there in Georgia this morning and they have
snow.  Brief was on the road for hours trying to get home yesterday.  Georgia is less equipped than Virginia for dealing with snow.

So.  Here we all are.  I have had a vision field appointment and a dental appointment this week before the snow.  All okay there.

We've been catching up on our recorded programs and doing a lot of reading.  As I said --- I am soooo ready for Spring!

Stay safe!
