The Sheriff has exercised his power and has closed all schools in our county for at least the next 24 hours. There is another winter storm coming in tonight that is supposed to dump up to another 8 inches of snow. And the sidewalks are buried under lots of snow that was plowed up into huge snow berms. There is not really any safe way for kids to walk to school, not to mention how bad the parking lots are at the schools. And there has been lots of roof collapses from all the snow, so they need to be sure the schools are safe as well.
I was really looking forward to kicking the girls out in the morning, but now we have yet another snow day. Last year school was closed for three days because a foot of snow fell in a day. That was the first time school had been closed in 11 years. And now we have had more than 71 inches of snow fall since December 16th. It has already been a recording breaking winter. How many more snow days are there going to be?
It is pretty, but enough is enough. I need the girls to go back to school. They need to get out of the house. I need them to get out of the house. Family time is great and all, but we have been together for a long time now.
Until next time,
Jaime
