The Calm Before the Storm

Today was a sunny albeit chilly day. Although the walk into work this morning was a bit severe (even with corduroy pants - I was regretting not wearing long underwear as I turned the last block), the walk home was rather pleasant

I was volunteering at Virginia's elementary school's library (budget cuts took away the assistant a couple of years ago so they need someone to help shelve the books) and the whole place was buzzing with the possibility of school being closed on Tuesday. We will get, at most, some freezing rain and it will be gone before the end of Tuesday. But since we don't have the fleets available to deice and salt, we end up shut down. We don't have snow/ice days, tho. We have to add days to the end of the year.

Yikes--my first impulse is to tell you to stay indoors on Feb. 1 & 2 so as not to tempt fate, but I know perfectly well that then you'd just slip and fall getting out of the bathtub or something.

I like smelly candles too, but Dad is mystified if I ever light them when a power outage isn't happening. *sigh*

Stay as warm, dry and safe as possible, k? And of course, keep us informed!

I hope you're managing to hang on to power. It was the lack of power outages that made our week of no school bearable.

Interesting about adding days at the end. I was wondering what they'd do here. Since we can have 3-4 snow days without penalty, and we had five, the powers that be decreed that two of our former break days (around President's Day) will now be regular school days. Just as well.
