Snow days.

They weathermen are declaring 18-30". Until that actually happens, these declarations mean nothing but panic by residents in our area. Seriously, it's quite ridiculous. Schools are closed before the snow even begins to fall. What if the weathermen were wrong? I mean, normally that's not beyond comprehension.

Hmm, maybe my cynicism comes from growing up in Vermont, where several feet of snow didn't shut things down for days, nevermind shutting things down in advance.

Aw well, here's the progression, starting with a bit before 9am when I left for a doctor's appointment, where the lobby was full because they canceled their afternoon appointments and thus filled up their morning appointments.

11am...

1pm...

3pm...

It doesn't look much different after 1pm, but it's been snowing steady, so it is accumulating. And even though I find the reaction to predicted snow quite ridiculous here in the NoVa area, I'm glad for the excuse to cuddle up in the condo for the weekend with my Hubs, who because of snow probably wont have to work tomorrow like he normally would on a tax-season Saturday.

So, on the agenda are: clearing off the DVR list and watching the first two discs of Season 1 of Sons of Anarchy from Netflix, because TV is what Hubby does when he's not working; reading a lot; making Pioneer Woman's Cajun Chicken Pasta for dinner tonight; taco soup in the crockpot tomorrow; and some other crafty projects to include the tag for my Craft Hope scarf and starting some handmade Valentines.

I hope your weekend is filled with good things too!
