Snow Exciting

I'm currently on Snow Day #3.  I'm snow bored.  haha just kidding, I'm keeping busy.  I made all of my valentine's for school, so I feel very accomplished today (you can read about that on my other blog...Real Teachers Learn).

We were expected to get anywhere from 8-11 inches of snow from Tuesday-Wednesday.  Here's what happened (in pictures).  If you don't like to see snow, I would suggest averting your eyes.

9:00 AM on Tuesday

5:00 PM on Tuesday... notice I had shoveled about 5 inches at 2:30.  You can kind of tell...

8:30 AM Wednesday.  I shoveled yesterday, right?  Another 5-6 inches.

Since the plow had finally arrived by Wednesday morning, I got all prepared to go dig myself out and go somewhere.  Anywhere.  

When I woke up it was about -2 degrees out, wind chill of -20 or something, so I waited until it warmed up to 10 before venturing out into the cold.  

I bundled up.  I put on my fleece ski socks, boots, leggings, pants, a long sleeved tshirt, a sweatshirt, a coat... ear warmers, sweatshirt hood, coat hood.  I put on my happy gloves to remind myself of how to feel.

Then I was ready to go.  And HAPPY about it!

fake smile.  weird eyes.

Then I opened up my front door and heyyyy it hit snow.  In the end, it wasn't so bad.  I was actually sweating because it's possible I overdressed for the event.  Always better to be overdressed than underdressed, I say.

Hi Snow!  No, you may not come in.

And at night, it really is quite beautiful when you're snuggled up in your house.

I guess today was too cold to go to school, because here I am at home again.  Cheers to one day work weeks (technically two with staff development on Monday, but if students don't show up, I just don't consider it work)!!
