Hey, it is 9 weeks today. Or if you prefer - 63 days.

Wow Carol. Good job it is Saturday and you can stay warm and snug.

You are right! DH is on call this weekend but he told his home office that he could take tech support phone calls but they had better find someone else to go out on calls because he wasn't going anywhere.

Hi Carol and Marilyn, fellow table mates!!!

8:00pm sounds like a good idea. We'll make our own formal atmosphere where ever we eat.

Since Noel left our group, I'm not sure who is the lead on our ressie. Do either of you know? We have DU as our travel agent. I could email Marla and ask her to enquire about requesting the 8:00 pm seating.

Carol, sorry to hear about all the snow. Lots of rain here. The puppy sure looks cute frolicing in the snow. With his little short legs he could get buried fast.

Good morning all. That is what the news is calling our weather. It has been snowing almost steady for 24 hours and is going to snow until at 7 PM this evening. Last time weather was seen like this in this part of the state was in '78. We even had lightening and thunder around 5 AM. The airport is a mess. Most of the flights are cancelled or delayed and all counties are on a Level two snow emergency at least. Some are under a level three. For those lucky to be in Florida and CA a Level 2 means do not be on the road unless it is absolutely necessary, level 3 is the roads are closed to everything except emergency vehicles and you will get a ticket if caught out. Hey John1 how bad it is for you? Here are some pictures.

These were taken yesterday afternoon.

Mickey loves the snow.

HOLY SMOKES! I've never heard of a snow emergency or levels of snow emergency! How awful! It just seems so bizarre because you're a few hours South of me, so it seems like we up here should be having more snow than you, but we have none. Well, stay inside and stay safe! Crazy stuff!

We had probably need to each contact our own TA's, though ours is DU too.

Also, this is just a request, so we may still get 8.30, but that will be ok too.

I want chocolate.

You are just down the street from us. MM has been our stomping ground over the years, DW and I grew up here in Valencia. Love the rides. MIL called us and told us she always knew we were doing something "bad" by homeschooling! She wants to know if we are going to jail also. Have fun at MM, we have a client meeting in Venice and then off to DL !Joseph

Yea, the "big story" about licensing for homeschooling is all over the news.

Some more pictures from today. Just measured the snow on our deck and it is 9 inches. I know this isn't much for you Canadians but we haven't seen this much snow in years.

I think half of the Cardinal population in Ohio is feeding at our feeder.

The wheels on our van are 18". Our nephew had shoveled our drive yesterday late afternoon.

This snow is since yesterday late afternoon. It is still snowing as hard or harder than it is in this picture.

Carol

OK, you're freakin me out, so I'm sending you sunshine in 3 days.

I must have missed something - what is the homeschooling issue?

Isn't this great? Feel free to call me crazy but I LOVE big snowstorms or the occasional blizzard.

DH was silly enough to go to work at 5:30am. Wasn't too bad then. Don't know when or how he will make it home. Yep, there are now no vehicles allowed on the road. He is so stubborn. Last time we had a blizzard way back in 1978 he was stuck at work all night. Silly man doesn't learn. Hope he has sense enough to stay safe even if it means being stuck there. Hope we don't lose electricity!

"HollyTyler ~HOLY COW! Yeah, I know, that's nothing for the Canadian folks. But I'd freak if we were getting that much snow. We haven't had snow in 3 weeks and none predicted this week. So Carol, you and Doug stay inside this weekend where it's warm & toasty! I suppose John1 & family are getting the same weather. "


Not all us Canadian folk are use to that, but we are getting the same this weekend. I am so sick of it all, two storms a week is taking a toll on my city. We are so not use to this. being on the north side of a huge lake, which keeps us warmer, and fairly south of most of Canada, we just don't get snow like this in an average year.

I used to like a good snowy day as long as everyone was home. We never get those days now though.

I hope your husband manages to get home.
