The
snow came full blast yesterday evening, cranking up around 3 and continuing through the
night. They'd been calling for up to a foot, but usually in Virginia that means a dusting. But it dumped all night and this morning we woke up to a blanket of white enough to officially make today a snow day.
I
did some shoveling this morning. I tried to get the car up the street and failed. Surrendering to a day at home with warm coffee and my favorite munchkin. The office was closed anyway. My boss said something about taking
training classes from home, but uh, I forgot my password, my uh internet
connection is down, the dog ate my laptop.
Nope, instead we’re sledding. A little anyway. Simon doesn’t quite know what to make of it. He saw some snow during Christmas when we were up north, but he wasn't impressed. I think he was ready for some lunch and a nap. So now, with both wife and son napping, I’m left with a full day of snow and shoveling, and uh maybe some more sledding if I have time…because--wait, do you hear that? A rumbling outside, almost like a growl. That harsh, scraping sound. Nooooooooo!
