Wherefore art thou, Spring?

Just like everywhere else in the greater northwest area, it snowed here last night. I'm not particularly thrilled about it. I really really really thought that we were on the verge of spring...the sun was starting to shine, the sky was blue, the geese were still heading south for the winter, but hey! What do geese know anyway? Turns out they know a blizzard is in the works. I drove home from school last night in a white out. Awesome. Zero visiblilty on a three lane expanse of pure whiteness...no lines in sight. High adventure people.

I awoke to glorious drifts in the driveway, on the car, against the back door etc. Double awesome. Because my husband is sitting on a boat in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico which means I get to do all the shoveling. By the by, did you know that shoveling snow is one of my all time favorite past times? Yeah, neither did I.

All school districts were cancelled as a result of our 8-12" of overnight snow, including Eastern. Which is surprising given that they hardly ever cancel classes. But I'll take it...so I got a snow day. We did venture out twice, once to go to the doctor for Aile, and a second time to pick up her prescriptions. Overall the roads are not as bad as they could have been. But it's COLD.

I want spring.
