It is the first snow day of the season! The first snow day for us anyway. It's not really snowing outside so much as snow/sleet/unknown yuckiness at the moment. Jeremy did not have to go to work today because the school he works for is closed. I do not have class on Tuesdays, but OCCC is closed today anyhow, so if I had class I would not be going.
We did venture out for a little bit to the store after spending a hefty amount of time cracking out the car. The roads weren't too bad as long as you were driving slow. Since Jeremy and I both grew up in areas that saw some pretty hefty snowfall, this weather is kind of nostalgic. We talked about some of our memories of winters past. I remember shoveling out the driveway and being rewarded with hot cocoa when we were done. I also remember making forts out of the snow drifts that would pile up along the end of the lawn after the snow plows would come through. I think that was my favorite thing about the snow. Making underground tunnels in the snow was so much fun. Except when they collapsed, which they tended to do.
I really do like the snow. Ice and me are not really on speaking terms.
And now I've found out that I have no class on Wednesday and Jeremy has no work either. Let the snow days continue into a marathon!
