We got just enough snow last night to once again cover the ground, sidewalks and streets. But, not enough (apparently) to justify a snow day or even a school delay so it looks like I'll be heading out there in a bit and clearing away the white stuff. Spring can get here any day now. I'm sure those robins we've been seeing are really confused right now.

After spring-like weather the past few days, we had a wicked winter storm last night and all after school activities (along with my daughters' skating and dance classes) were canceled as a result. I woke up this morning thinking there was a good chance the girls would have their first snow day of the school year. But, that doesn't appear to be the case. It looks like the plows have already been out and there's no announcement of any delays or cancellation. Hope the girls aren't too disappointed.

Even though my wife and I both cautioned them not to be too optimistic, both of them insisted on going to bed last night thinking they would have a snow day today. This is because the weather has us under a winter advisory with the potential of up to 6 inches of snow. Well, they got out of bed this morning and saw the same thing I saw when I got up, not a single flake of snow on the ground (other than the inch or so we already have). Not only was there no snow day, we may not even get any accumulating snow now. We're still under the advisory but there's a good chance we'll only get snow showers throughout the day. Talk about not having a clue about what kind of weather we should expect.
