Snow Day

[omly]

When Roger went to get the car from the garage in the morning all of the doors had frozen shut. He had to climb in through the trunk to start the car and warm it enough so the most of the doors would open. Thankfully he picked us up at the door so that I wouldn't have to take Tab the block and a half to the garage. As we waited we saw a bunch of little sparrows. They were sitting all puffed up under the heat lamps in front of the hotel. What smart little birds! The still looked so cold though.

On the way home we saw much snow related activity. Heavy equipment was out on the road to dig out the streets as much as possible. There were not one, but two people skiing across the MIT campus. And at home there were many people digging out their cars with lawn chairs ready to immediately claim their spot. (Does this happen in other parts of the country?)

Yesterday afternoon they declared Tab's school canceled for both today and tomorrow. So not only did she have the whole weekend at the con, she has two snows days too. Tufts waited until fairly late in the evening to declare that there would be no classes for me today. I doubt I will get tomorrow off as well though. And it looks like there is more snow to come. The current weather report calls for snow showers wednesday, thursday, and then more next week.

So today we are staying inside baking cookies (oatmeal raisin). I want to get some more knitting done too, since I almost finished Tab's poncho at Arisia. I figure another hour or two and it will be done. If only Roger had been home it would have felt like a weekend.
