If you've read this Blog at all you know how much I dislike Winter. To paraphrase the old standard, (sung to the tune of "I Love Paris"), "I hate Missouri in the Winter, I hate winter in St. Lou, I hate winter all the winter, oh this winter, I hate winter why don't you".
We dodged a bullet yesterday but I still got a snow day, when my employer shut down for the latest version of "Snowmageddon". That is the term one of the local TV stations actually used on its' forecast Sunday night. Snowmageddon turned out to be a whopping three inches. Yesterday I enjoyed the day off and never left the house all day even though my driveway needs shovelling. And I probably should have done it while it was relatively warm. The forecast now calls for the temperature to be below freezing from now until next Thursday, except for several hours this Saturday. Still, I'm not complaining since it has been a relatively mild Winter to this point.
My driveway will remain covered with snow for this period. Since, the good Lord put it there who am I to move it until the good Lord melts it.

"Snow Day"
How did you spend your day today? I spent mine at home from work on a "Snow Day". Yep, one of those days when your school or business closes because of inclement weather. We got about a foot of snow at my house and the temperature early this morning reached nine below zero with a Wind Chill index reading of -34.
Yesterday my company announced about 6 pm it was closing today. I got to thinking and realized it was the first time in 40 years I knew ahead of time that the weather would get me a day off.
I spent today working around the house and about two this afternoon finally went out side and shoveled out the sidewalk and driveway. By, the time I got outside the temperature had warmed up to zero and the wind chill reading was up to a manageable negative 22. I also realized when you are working and sweating you really don't notice the temperature too much. But, at this point the sun is starting to set and the temperature is back to one below. I sure am thankful to have a roof over my head and a nice warm bed in which I will sleep tonight.
