Snowmageddon 2016

I am ordinarily a warm weather kind of girl.  I love summer and spring.  I love capris and flip-flops.  I get unnecessarily grumpy each and every cold day of winter. However, I'm uncharacteristically in love with snow.  I think it's the greatest!  Ok, let's clarify this, I think it's the greatest...in moderation.  

If I lived in Alaska where it snows pretty much every day for 9 months out of the year, I'd be an angry, angry person.  However, living in Maryland, where we get at least one minor to major storm each year has its perks.  For instance, you get to see the entire state - and in this case, the entire Eastern seaboard - freak out before a single flake has even fallen.  Schools have closed, activities have been cancelled, heck, even Garth Brooks decided to cancel his shows because it may start snowing some time around dinner tomorrow.  

But there's also an upside.  The upside being, we now have the perfect excuse to "work from home."  I know millions of people don't have this option, and I thank them for all their hard work and service.  But I can.  And I will use the heck out of this excuse when the opportunity presents itself. Like tomorrow, for example.  Before you call me a ninny for slacking on work, I'd like the record to show that everyone in my entire office made the decision to do so, before I did.  I had planned to come in - grumpy, but I was coming in.  But when the 6 people you sit in a room with decide to not come in, what's the point of sitting there all by yourself?

Last but not least, there's the chance to spend an entire weekend indoors because you just can't go out in the nasty weather.  Who doesn't love an excuse to sit at home and read, or scrapbook or just lay on the couch?  I'm telling you, this whole snow thing has its advantages!  

Now, after tomorrow into Saturday, the snow can head north for all I care, and we can head into early spring.  I'm good with that.  Because spring brings warm and that's what I love more than the white stuff.  But for now I'm going to enjoy my one little snowstorm I ask for each year.  Happy snow day!
