Well, today was supposed to be my first day back at school after vacation. Everything was ready to go. The weather forecast had been predicting a storm that probably wouldn't be a big deal for us and might even miss us. Yesterday, they predicted that we would get a storm and a winter storm warning was in effect for the whole state. It was estimated that we would get 6-12" in my area, but it would be over well before daybreak. I thought for sure I would have school today. Got up at 5:00am and we had no cable and no internet, no water, but we did have electricity. I looked out the window and it was still snowing and blowing pretty hard. Since I had no way to see/hear the news I had to call up a fellow teacher to find out if we had school or not. Nope, school closed.
Two things ran through my mind - 1) my surveyor again would have to postpone going to my land to place the pegs (grrrrr) and 2) I gotta get outside and help dig us out of this mess. (I can feel the aches and pains already!)
I was not prepared for the sight I saw before me when I headed out the door. This little insignificant storm of ours did this...
Yep, this little insignificant storm dropped more than 18" of very wet, heavy snow!
We also lost a couple of trees...
It's a good thing this was a little insignificant storm, because I would hate to see what a significant storm looks like! I do have to say, however, that it is very beautiful!
