Snow

What a beautiful 8" snow we received this past Thursday night that did not begin or end in rain.  The kids were happy for a snow day.  The only pictures I took (unfortunately) were a few of my fine feathered friends.

Now they are getting another day off tomorrow because of the cold weather with high winds.  It is supposed to be down to 7* with strong winds.....an equivalent to MN's -35* with winds???  Do we have to keep up with all the other states across the midwest that have closed down schools for the same reason?  Kids are happy, but groaning 'cause I am coming up with some good chores.  I keep thinking that there are plenty of days of winter left and we don't want to "waste" snow days and have to make days up at the end!!  

And don't even get me started on the way DE wastes road salt and pays people to push snow banks on cleared shoulders off farther into ditch when the back roads haven't even been plowed once!! If my husband was a politician, there would be a job opening in that dept....

Does no good to complain, I guess.  I'll enjoy my day at home with the kids.
