Snow?
Out here in the Seattle area, we don't get snow THAT often which means that when we DO, the whole city panics. LOL.
Well, we have had the threat of snow for the past week...it was apparently snowing an hour north of here today, and it is raining here now....so might there be some white stuff when I awaken?
I am torn you see...In Canada, I am all for snow days, a nice surprise day off. Here, however, a snow day means you get a day off in January that you need to make up at the end of the school year...that just plain sucks. So, I really don't know if I am hoping for snow or not...but I sure do keep checking outside;)

I hope you get some snow this weekend. Just enough to make things white and pretty.
I know all about the panic...does everyone there go to the grocer to stock up on anything they might need in the next 2 weeks -- "just in case"?
Hmm..I don't know about the stocking up...for the most part, people out here are too afraid to go much farther than their front yards when it snows;) LOL..remember, it really only snows a couple days a year here. :)
We did get a light covering of snow last night. It is still around which was a surprise when I came home. THere was no snow in Lynnwood, where I work. I could use a snow day on Monday...no way I am getting all 150 of these tests graded for Monday morning hahhah
The stocking up part happens before the snow. Around here, as soon as the word snow is mentioned in a forecast, people flock to the stores. It's crazy. I can understand making sure you have the necessities for a couple of days, but people around here will buy a whole grocery cart of food just because they heard it's supposed to snow an inch. It's crazy.
Hope you get those tests graded.
