SNOW DAY

 Oh yes, it's beautiful, but it causes so many problems.  Hundreds of cars, scattered like Hot Wheels, on the side (or middle) of the roads. 

4 inches of snow should not be such a problem.  It's the ice. A layer of ice under the snow is very dangerous.  This morning I was watching the news, and they were showing, live, a city bus, sliding sideways down a hill.  I don't want to see that in person!

Maybe, I will brush off the chairs, and build a little fire in the back yard!  I remember my husband building fires in the front yard.  The boys were young, and our driveway was a perfect sledding hill for them.  They would come in, soaking wet, put on dry clothes and go back out.  They LOVED the snow. 


Now, Chris lives in a town in Idaho, where they measure the snow in feet, not inches.  He has a Saint Bernard, who digs huge holes in the snow and lays in them, snow shoes hang by his back door and one of the highlights of winter is the Beard Growing Contest. (you can't make that up)  He still loves the snow.


It's not so much fun at Country Village.  The slight incline to get back on the Highway, is a sheet of ice.  So, if you were planning on shopping with us today, stay home.  Work on a UFO, and check back tomorrow, because we are staying home today.  The shop is closed, along with the Northshore School District.  Stay warm.  J
