Snow Days....

So it has been a crazy week of wind, snow, and ice. On Monday I was sent home after 1/2 day of parent/teacher conferences due to unexpected snowfall, which immediately stuck and froze to very cold roads. This made for a treacherous drive home, turning what normally takes me 15 minutes, into a two-hour white knuckle trip home. The first photo was while I was stuck in a standstill, with a rare snowy view of Penn Cove. The second photo is what was causing that backup, two stuck semis and three cars in the ditch. This is only a fraction of what I came across.

The wind kicked up that afternoon, so the kids didn't even get to enjoy the snowfall. Yesterday no one had school, and they spent the morning sledding down some local hills. Conferences were again canceled for me, as well as school for the kids, as the roads are too slick. However, there's not much accumulation to play in, so we have passed some of the time by completing puzzles. We are on our fourth so far, with four more to go....
