Another Snow Day?

We are on our third winter storm of the year and we sit holed up in our house awaiting the 4-6 inches they are calling for. Granted this snowfall is nothing compared to the snowfall in other areas but it is a lot compared to what we normally get so even the schools are shut down. I think we have had four or five days where they have shut the school down due to the weather. The strangest was the day where the temps dropped too low and they canceled school because it would cost the school too much too heat the school on those days.
The last snowfall we got was over Christmas and it was enough to shut our entire town down which was quite a site Christmas morning to wake up to freshly fallen deep snow and no traffic. Even if you had traveling plans you were not going due to the road conditions.
So now we are prepared for being stuck at home for the next couple of days as Heath's truck is two wheel drive and worthless in the snow and while the store is close it is not a fun walk in the bad weather. We have cable and movies, a couple of board games and my new espresso machine.
Since it is chilly outside it may be a good time to make a couple of really good mochas and play some games with the kids!

You guys cannot catch a weather break! More snow, a lot colder than we are. Then comes the issue of make up days, maybe you can get the kids classified as taking a "field trip" to Alaska to study "global warming" and that will count for the "snow days". Just don't let cabin fever set it!
