Ice Storm 2010

Now that I am getting caught up on blogging....We have had another snow storm. This was actually called "Ice Storm 2010." The weathermen had been warning us about this ice storm that was heading our way. The were concerned about power outages and obviously the roadways. Wednesday was a gorgeous day! The high was about 65 degress and at about 3:00 we received an email at school notifiying us we would be out of school Thursday and Friday due to the inclement weather that was headed our way. It just didn't seem right...here I was outside at carpool on 65 degree January day and I was telling parents we would not have school the next two days. I will have to say the weathermen are 2 for 2 on the winter storm weather predictions for this winter season. It all started early that morning with freezing rain, which was not a good thing, it changed over to sleet later in the day and snowed ALL day Friday! We probably got about 6 inches of snow this time. What did I do during my two unplanned days off? NOTHING! I felt so lazy, but I loved it. I started a new book and watched a few movies. I am sitting here on a Sunday playing catch up on laundry and cleaning wondering why didn't I do this earlier!
The picture above was taken on Saturday. The sun came out for just a little bit! Below is a picture of the snow in action and of course Mr. Tahoe playing outside in the front yard! We couldn't get him to come in! The last picture is a close up of our tree in the front yard with about 1/2 inch of frozen ice! I am ready for Spring!!
