the big freeze

we finally got a good dose of snow, which is now freezing rain, and will melt tomorrow when the temps rise to 50.

we took tashi to school at 8am only to find out, once back home, that school was closing at 10am, the worst possible time to pick the kids up because the roads hadn't been plowed or salted yet. if we could have picked up at the normal time, the roads would have been cleared and the early morning snow mania traffic would have settled down. the must-close-everything response to snow always evokes snide comments from us, the bitter northerners who lived many years in snowbelt and great lake affected winters.



but still, it was enjoyable. and a little bit exciting too.
