Snow Day

Mandy woke me up this morning with the announcement that surely we would have a snow day today, since we've accumulated about 3 inches of snow overnight and it's steadily coming down. That might not be a lot of snow, but in cities like Portland and Seattle where it rarely snows, it's enough to entangle traffic and shut down the entire city.

I haven't had a good snow day in a about 3 years now. Last time was in Seattle, and I lived so close to work that I went in anyway, until they closed an hour after opening. Those of us that had made the trek in went to the bar across the street and had a few beers before returning home. Today I'll have no such luck, since the kids will be staying home with me (and Mandy as soon as she gets back home, she had to go to the store to officially 'close' the store and call people to tell them not to come in). I was thinking of taking Lexi outside to see the snow, but it hit me that she really doesn't have any snow gear and I don't think we're going to buy her boots and gloves just for one day. Who knows though, I bet we can sneak out for a few minutes of frolicking.

Woohoo!
