I got to work, bright and early at 7:15am, like I was supposed to. Nothing on WTMJ or on the newspaper’s website about the clinic being closed. By the time I found out, Gary was long gone, with the car, and I had to slog through the snow in my shoes. Minutes after I get home, I get a phone call telling me that the clinic was closed until noon. An email, timestamped 7:21am, awaited me, when I logged into the company email. That was too late for me, though! So, I go through my morning, catching up on Tweets and Facebook. At 11:10, I get another phone call saying that the clinic will be closed all day. I was glad to find out, before I had to walk over there. At 7:15 am, it wasn’t snowing at all. Now it’s snowing quite hard and it’s windy to boot.
So, here are some pictures from a short while ago.

Hi Dawn!
I finally connected to your blog! I love all your snow photos… wish we had some, although St. Louis would have to TOTALLY shut down if we did! Hope you and yours are having a happy start to the new year!
The snow was so pretty in all those pictures. Now it’s just dirty. It’s been a while since we had a snowstorm and this weekend, it’s above freezing, drizzling, gray and dreary. It makes the snow seem even dirtier. So, St. Louis is far enough south that snow is a catastrophe? On January 7th, we had a storm and they didn’t cancel school at all. It’s probably okay, though, since we did have a snow day on December 9th, 2009.
That was quite a storm.
It’s so hot here these days that I wish we could trade a little bit of our climate.
