Snow Day # ? I've lost count!




It's a blizzard, again! Last week we had the "January Thaw", which happens here on the coast every year. The temperatures climb to balmy above freezing marks (which were in the mid to high 40's last week, diminishing our 3 ft of snow to about 6 inches in some places!) and the SUMP PUMP in the basement runs day and night trying to keep up with the thawing of the ground and the water it was producing.
Not any more! We're right back to winter and another SNOW DAY!! I hope the kids like going to school in July, because at this rate, that's where we'll be! I stepped outside at about 3pm to take these shots before the sun went down-HA! It never came out today- and the blizzard rages on. This is to continue through the night, and snow showers through the day tomorrow. Whatever that means... I have the feeling it means, "good luck shoveling your van out, as well as driving in this mess"!
Damn, I'm cold (and so is the weather)!

This COULD Happen in Church!

These clips from Church have actually happened.
If they happened more often, maybe I'd go! Probably not.... ENJOY!

Another Snow Day!

It's the first week of January and we've had 3 official snow days to date...this does not bode well for the rest of the winter, as the snow doesn't really come down until late January and February! There is no place to put the plowed snow right now (there are 4ft walls along streets), and I've heard tell that towns are already running low on salt/sand! SCARY!
But... on the lighter side...the video reminds us that it's not all bad! Why winter can even be fun...just keep telling yourself that! As I was filming this, it must be said, I was wearing slippers, no coat, (in denial you say?) and got 2 shoes FULL of snow! I don't even want to think about February!
