Last night the forecast was calling for 1-4" on snow so the whole state of TN starts getting scared and cancels all of the schools around here. We wake up this morning and there was not a speck of snow on the ground. I made it to work just fine and then around 9am it hit us!!! Man those flurries were intense, thank goodness they closed the schools!!!
After snowing ALL day this is what we got. Barely a dusting!! Now this is the first snow Shirley and Riley have seen all year so they were pretty excited. They act like little kids. They want to spend all day outside. I spent a little time out with them when I got home from the clinic this afternoon but I was too tired to do to much. And besides... the snowballs that I was making were pretty pathetic!
Riley found a chunk of ice out of one of their water bowls so she was pretty content just hanging out by herself gnawing on ice! She loves the cold.
This is when I was balling up the golf ball size snow balls from the porch snow and throwing them to them.
Shirley begs by the back door to go outside and then just sits there by herself shivering, waiting for someone to come out and play in the snow with her. How pathetic! I only let her sit there for a couple of minutes then I have to call her in. I think she would stay out all day just like that if I let her...
Anyway. Since nothing sticks to the roads here, they are still pretty wet and we are supposed to be getting some record lows on cold here. It's going to be like -3 with the wind chill in the morning so understandably there will be ice on the roads. Schools are already closed for tomorrow too. SO, I only had to work a 1/2 day today and I don't have to work at all tomorrow. The next time I go to work will be 8 weeks from Monday!! I will have a whole extra day to prepare for the baby and to rest up!
