White-out

The best three things about the Blizzard of 2010?

1) Going outside your front door in Chicago and seeing a snowmobile drive by as thunder rattles the windows....and wishing you had cross-country skies while going down the street to visit a friend.
2) Replaying Y2K at the grocery store - fighting the old ladies for the last loaf of bread and standing for 30 minutes in line trying to get provisions before the storm hits.
3) Having the first snow day in 12 years in Chicago announced early enough to enjoy your evening and be able to sleep in.

Sharon and Karen were both lamenting the coming snow - knowing that a snow day was likely.  I, on the other hand, welcome it with open arms.  The house needs to be cleaned, after all.  I guess that shows who the mature, experienced educators in the family are.  (at least you can tell who is in the first year at their position!)

Happy snow day, everyone.
