Ok, so it's not nearly as crazy as the freak storm from a few years ago that completely shut down the state of Maryland by blanketing it in feet of snow. But it seems that most parts of the state are treating it that way. Before a single flake fell this morning (starting around 8ish am) all school districts had closed - some as early as 8pm last evening. By mid-day most agencies, and shopping areas had also closed. That's a little intense for a storm that has only dropped a few inches of snow so far in the last 12 hours.
However, you can't really complain when it just looks so pretty! I know, now that I'm not teaching and have no guarantee of a day off when the snow comes, I'm supposed to be grumpy at the very mention of flakes. But I can't be. I secretly love snow days and pray for a big storm at least once a year. It sucks having to use my own time to take the day off but it's offset by staying inside where it's nice and warm and doing absolutely anything I want - like drinking tea curled up in bed with a good book or catching up with crafting. Usually, I'm a good girl and set the alarm just in case it's gotten better over night. But with projected temps around 9 degrees over the next 24 hours, that alarm was long since turned off and the "I'm taking the day" email has already been sent. Of course, I can hope that maybe, just maybe my office will follow suit and close with the rest of them but I'm really not holding my breath.
For now, I'll just deal and enjoy a nice and cozy, warm and fuzzy day of my own. Long live the snow day!
