Snow Day!

I was feeling like the odds were good that we'd stay home today. It was 40 degrees here yesterday and there was just a wet, sticky feel to the air all day. It started to rain later in the early evening and within a couple hours the roads were very icy. When Paul was at the fire hall he heard over the scanner that the state highway department was advising no travel. You take icy roads and throw in severe windchills, and you have the makings of a snow day.

I turned on the tv before I hit the shower and they were just showing that the Duluth area schools were closing. I got the call around 6:25 that we would be closed. We turned on the tv and saw that almost all of the Iron Range schools were closed. It's possible that we'll be home tomorrow too. We are supposed to have windchills as low as 50 to 60 below.

Carly has a cold, so it works out well for her to stay home. Ellen got up when she heard the phone ring and then went back to bed. I plan to watch a movie, get some little jobs around the house done, and just relax. I have been pretty tired of school, so this is a nice little break.
