The weatherman kept threatening us with several Winter Weather Advisories over the past month. But, nothing came of any of them for may area. Earlier in the week they mentioned a "slight chance" of a "flurry" or maybe a "dusting". But, there wasn't much real mention of a snowstorm. I hadn't even bothered to mention it here!
This morning it started snowing lightly then it got heavier. DH and I made a made dash for the necessities - bread, TP, chocolate chips (yes, that IS a necessity in a winter storm) and milk. Then we heard school was letting out at 1:00, so we got DS, stopped by the library for a few movies then came home to hunker down.
I popped popcorn in our new hot air popper (Bought at Walgreen's for $2.25 this weekend -Sorry, couldn't help divulging a deal...), made some hot chocolate and watched it snow. We haven't had any snow this year. It isn't that much yet - not anything like
Heidi gets on a weekly basis in CO! But, for Arkansas - this is big. It's still coming down and will all night.
They've already cancelled school for Thursday and I don't see them getting anything too cleared off for Friday so I am thinking we are about to get a four day weekend. Yahoooo!

I am so living vicariously through those of you getting snow... I miss it and wish I could feel stuck in doors... and get some stuff done!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the time!
We had a snow day, too....few and far between in the Carolina's. I just posted my tribute. Today is going to be my cookie and hot chocolate day since I didn't get to hunker down the whole day Thursday. I agree with you on the recipe thing! I hate when they exaggerate the outcome of the recipe. Makes 72 pieces, ya right if they are the size of your pinky! Geesh! LOL
