Snow Day!

The girls have missed SEVEN days of school due to "snow" so far this year in December and January. What with that and the 11-day holiday, they basically don't go to school any more. I suggested on Monday (yet another snow day) that they get jobs. They didn't think that was funny.

Most of the "snow" days are actually "ice or some snow makes the roads slippery and because the City isn't set up to respond to that, it basically paralyzes the entire transportation system" days. However, we woke up this morning to find half a foot of snow had fallen overnight, and it didn't stop. By the time the snow stopped and Cook and I went on a walk,* nearly a foot of snow had come down. THAT'S a snow day. 

*City employees (and almost everybody else) got a snow day, too. We've had one other complete day off and several "late start" days when the kids have had "snow" days
