Feet vs. Inches????

...that's what it sounds like the forecast is for the next few days in the snowfall category.  I don't know that I recall ever receiving quite that amount of snow in one storm in my lifetime.  When I was in Chicago back in 1998/1999, we received about that much at that point up there. It's a lot of snow! :)

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow....NOT?!?!? :)

Oh, technically, I suppose I don't really care if it snows or not today...I don't really mind snow.  However, most everyone else I know is really tired of it, and I don't blame them.  The calendar says it is almost April, however, I remember an Easter egg hunt within the past couple of years that we went to where there was light snow on the ground, so.....

It is pretty dreary outside today, the sun is not peeking through the clouds, but there is a chance of snow showers tonight, so we shall see....

Meteorologist from Topeka's Channel 49

I was pretty excited  to be able to get Ed Bloodsworth, meteorologist with the ABC-TV affiliate in Topeka, KTKA-Ch. 49, to come to the school for Lutheran Schools Week activities.  In the past years, the kids have gone down to the movie theater here in town for a private showing of a movie some afternoon, but I wasn't able to connect with Alex, the theater owner, and plus, I just thought it would be cool to get something different, something new.  He was good, pretty entertaining, and had a pretty engaging presentation.  They do a "Weather in the Classroom" presentation, and I think this must've been part of it.   

This is the "Storm Tracker"...it's a pimped Hummer.  The antenna looking satellite thingie on the back is able to be raised and lowered when the truck is parked somewhere and they want to do different work or satellite upfeeds.

....still counting

All weekend, frightening predictions:  6-8, 8-10, 10-12!!!   Getting everyone all worked up!


Yesterday morning we woke up to a 'dusting'...well, okay, a heavy dusting...probably about an inch or so....    Were we going to get what was predicted?


Last night late it started in, and I woke up this morning to Bruce on the radio telling me that virtually all area schools had cancelled school for the day.  :(  bummer!   However, I remind myself how happy I was when I was a kid (and even a teacher) when there was a snow day.  As a mom, of a kid, who only goes to school three days a week, however....SHE NEEDS TO BE IN SCHOOL!!!! LOL

Our back deck at 9:00 a.m. this morning.  Still snowing...so we'll see how much more we get.
