Much Ado About Nothing

5-10". That's what they told us. The grocery store parking lots were packed to the edges again last night. I didn't know by personal observation. They showed us on the news. People were stocking up. Kids were counting on missing a few days of school.

I think we got less than two inches of snow. HOWEVER, we are getting some slight rain on top of it. Crunch crunch. Our city schools decided to close. Troy still had to pack up and head off to Columbus. From what it shows on the TV the traffic on Rt. 70 is moving slow and careful but it is pretty much clear. The radar shows much of the nasty business moving past us much, much farther south than anticipated. I think the meteorologists expected us to get sandwiched in between two storm systems. It didn't happen. This is the third time this winter that they gave us a big tale of doom and gloom and nothing much materialized.

I guess it is just as well for Bethany that there wasn't school today. She went to bed at 7:30 last night. It is almost 9:30 and she is still in bed! I checked to make sure she was breathing! She opened one eye and said, " No school!" and rolled over and went back to sleep. Alllll righty then.

Of course the other one hasn't materialized, yet. He will have to soon. No snow days for him. He has a couple online classes today.

AND, unless my professor says otherwise, I have class tonight, too. Didn't see any closing announcements for my college on the television.

Hope everyone stays warm and dry!
