What's This Funny Looking White Stuff

[cincygreg]

That is all over the ground today? Kinda looks like a light coating of whipped topping or someone went WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY to heavy on the powdered sugar with breakfast. Strange looking stuff it is. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!?!?!? Oh yeah, I know what it is. IT'S SNOW! Sounds like some of the kids got delays this morning or even a snow day in some areas. Doesnt look like we got too much but it's a pretty solid coating. Probably a little ice under it early on making travel more difficult. Oh well, it does look nice. Dont know if there's enough out there to make a snow dude (or even a mini snow dude or dudette today). Guess it really is winter after all.

Hey Baby It's Ice Cold Outside!
More snow last night and this morning, but it's the cold that'll get ya. It's a soup and hot chocolate kinda day. A something to warm you up kinda day. A big bowl of pasta or stew kinda day. A stay inside if you can and find something to do kinda day. Break out the cards, the games boards, the puzzles, the books, the slip and slide (well, maybe not so much with the slip and slide might be a bit too cold for that but if that's your thing have at it and knock yourself out) Watch a movie, catch up on your soaps, do some cleaning, mess something up so you can clean it up (probably not the best idea but if it's all ya got do what you can with it). Make some cookies or bake something. Snuggle up, nuzzle up and do whatcha gotta do. Just make the best of it. It wont last forever, so just do what you can.
