Snow Day!!

I just want to start out by saying the weather man was wrong...Again!! On Monday, there was a winter storm warning for the central part of ND, not Dickinson. Starting Monday late afternoon, after a day of rain, it started to snow, A LOT!! By the time I got home from work at 5, the streets were getting icy. Dan and I watched it as it continued to snow all night, it is amazing what you do when you don't have cable!! By Tuesday morning, there was a large amount of snow. When I got out to start my car, the snow was up to my mid calf. I couldn't believe it. School was the first to be canceled, which sucks because Tuesday is one of my days in the schools. Just as I got my car cleaned off and ready to take off, my supervisor called to let me know that we were closed until 1pm!! It was a half Snow day!! If you know anything about Government agencies, they NEVER close, so I knew it was bad out. After shoveling the extremely heavy snow (rained all day and then started to snow) Mattie talked me into a morning nap!! I wasn't lazy all morning, I did get up and make lasagna for supper. At about 11, my supervisor called to let me know that we would be closed for the rest of the day!! WOOHOO!!! Although I was a little bored, I was still excited to be off. I decided that I would make good use of my time and bake, just like my momma would do on snow days!! I made cupcakes for Valentine's day! I had so much fun spending the day in the kitchen!! Oh no, I have turned into my mom!! We ended up getting close to 10 inches of snow. I will welcome another snow day anytime!!
