...was really nothing to write home about.
Bummer.
I was so excited!
When we got to work Monday morning, my co-workers and I began calling to reschedule all our patients on Wednesday. By Tuesday, the higher-ups had a meeting and decided to close our building for Wednesday in preparation for the level three snow emergency that was forecasted. We'd gotten a couple inches overnight on Monday and the "big storm" started to hit late afternoon/early evening on Tuesday. I think the real issue was the crazy-loud wind and freezing rain/sleet. We were forecasted 12-16" of snow between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning and, in the end, we only saw maybe seven of it?
I don't think the roads were really all that bad on Wednesday based on the traffic we saw driving by our house. Our house is surrounded by fields so we had quite a bit of drifting and blowing leaving us with no uniform depth of snow.
Here's Craig clearing the driveway Wednesday morning.
And then the sun came out and the skies were beautiful, which somehow made it feel less cozy being stuck in the house. I LOVE storms of all kinds and I usually love being "holed up" in the warmth of our nest. But this wasn't quite the same. The wind and wind chill were still pretty unbearable though so we didn't go out to play. Instead, we stayed in and got a jump start on making Valentines (post coming soon), eating yummy food, watching Dora and Dino Dan, reading books,
and making paper airplanes!
Now, I hate to say it because I know it's a long way off, but...I'M READY FOR SPRING!!!
