The storm continues

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.

It’s been snowing a little bit harder, but I haven’t been upstairs to peek, in about an hour, so it might have all changed by now. LOL! I took these pictures earlier. The brighter one was taken by Gary. It took a while, for the snow to start accumulating because it was 33-34 F, outside.

Blizzard warning now!

This afternoon they changed the Winter Storm Warning to a Blizzard Warning through midnight on Wednesday! It will be very windy, visibilities will be low, and of course, the possibility of 12+ inches of snow! Not currently precipitating, although, it snowed lightly during the day today. There are some ugly looking clouds, out inthe distance. I don’t think it’s too far away. Going out with the dog, should be interesting, tonight and tomorrow!

Snowing lightly outside right now

I have no idea what the evening hours will bring. So far, it’s just snowing lightly and accumulating a little bit. Right now, it’s nothing to worry about, but eventually, the snow will become heavier and the winds will get stronger and we will get one heck of a snowstorm. We could possibly get a foot of snow and will probably have a snow day for school tomorrow. I don’t get to stay home, because I have to work at my clinic job, but I bet the clinic closes early, too. We’ll have to wait and see.

I finally found my Lands End sweatpants. I haven’t known where they were, for months and with the cold weather upon us, I wanted an extra option to wear to my school job, to keep me warm, since we are outside with first graders, for 20-25 minutes. I’m so happy!

I need to get caught up on my dishcloth pictures. Some on my camera need to be downloaded. I”m so behind.
