Oh no, not more snow!

It's snowing here. Again. More and more and more. Apparently, our average annual snowfall is 42", and we're making up for the years we don't get that much. Usually I like the snow, I appreciate it, and I love to watch it falling. But we still have so much snow from last week! I don't live in Michigan, Ohio, New York--the places where the snow stays around all winter. With 250 days of sunshine, our snow melts, all of it melts, usually within a day or two of the storm. It was 53 degrees here yesterday, and I still slipped and slid all the way down my street. I should just be happy that I don't have to GO anywhere.

I don't know what to expect. I haven't looked at the forecast since yesterday morning:

The National Weather Service is keeping an eye on a potential
storm that could bring the region a dusting of snow--or another blizzard.

This is really what our newspaper said. I found it amusing. I don't mind not knowing, in fact, I appreciate their honesty. I've lived in Colorado for 23 (!) years, and it still drives me crazy when the weather predictions are wrong. I can be confident that this one is on the mark!

The kids and I went out to Sam's Club early this morning. (You know "early" is relative here. It's a good thing that Sam's doesn't open until 10:00 a.m.) My original reasoning was to go before it got bad out, and it was already snowing when we left.


Also, Holly's friend had e-mailed that she might call later this morning--from Italy. That's a call we don't like to miss!

(I love her "02 COOL FOR SCHOOL" shirt that I found at Old Navy!)

Meanwhile, Trevor multitasked. He ate lunch while listening to Christmas music on his new Walkman while reading comics.


Thanks to Kathleen, I've been playing with Picasa. I haven't figured it out much yet, but it's been really fun so far! It might be time for me to break out that camera that Robert bought me LAST Christmas. He finally opened it up two or three months ago and started using it himself, but it's not like he takes a lot of pictures. He doesn't have any need for a camera. I'm the one journaling our life! Besides, now he knows how it works, and I don't have to figure it out. I can just take lots of shots and play with them on Picasa. Hmm. Maybe being snowed in doesn't have to be a bad thing.
