01/20/2009: "It Snowed Today"

It snowed today. They have been warning about this storm for a good 24 hours before it arrived so no one was caught by surprise. We got less then 2 inches and areas to the west got up to 6 inches. There is a lot of excitement about snow since it has been at least four years since the last bout of measurable snow. Almost everything was shut down due to the storm. Tomorrow will be sunny but cold. It will take most of the day to melt off the ice so there are some cancellations already announced. Fortunately, or unfortunately, the school district has declared another cancellation. This is unfortunate since there are no extra days built into the schedule so these two day will have to be made up before school is out in the spring. The question in my mind is whether or not I moved far enough south. Too late now but I certainly envy those that have already headed to the islands.
