Contrary to my earlier feelings about snow in general (I hate it and it needs to die), for the last week or so, I've been quite excited about the prospect of one last snow day to end the season right. There was a bit of time there last week, when we were expecting quite a bit of the white stuff, but that fizzled quite quickly. Today, on the other hand was another story. Based on the news reports, we were going to get hammered by up to 14 inches of snow, ice, freezing rain and wintry mix, starting yesterday afternoon and heading into this evening.
Now, by noon, I had pretty much had my heart set on having today off. However, I did go get gas just so I didn't jinx myself. Though, since I insisted on staying up an watching the interminable Oscars telecast last night, I was pretty much resigned to the fact there was going to be no snow day for me. But somehow I got the miracle I was hoping for and was able to spend a warm and cozy day inside crafting and baking. It wasn't quite the all out assault they were calling for (about 4 inches as opposed to 14), so I'm pretty sure I'll be at work tomorrow, but it did the trick for today. Thank goodness! Though I do have a teeny tiny message to whoever's up there controlling when the white stuff falls.
To the weather gods: While I love the snow day fun, I'm not such a fan of the whole 5 degrees outside thing, so while I hate to be picky, if you could just warm up a bit now, I'd be a much happier camper, thanks. Also, it's March now and spring will officially be arriving in less than 3 weeks, so now that we've all had our fun with lots of snow days, it's time for tulips, and sunshine and birds singing and all other wonderful hints of spring. I don't want to tell you how to do your job but, you need to be getting on that!
