Snowfall

It looks like it is going to be an unusual winter in the Hoosier State. We have just gotten our second major snow fall in just two weeks. It has been a beautiful winter landscape, but I'm going to hate it when I have to get behind the wheel of the school bus tomorrow. I'll be back on the road with the same people who were running 10 miles over the speed limit on snow covered roads yesterday. Yes, I was out in it. It is Christmas, and you have to shop sometime. Just to top off the day, I went to the grocery store for "bread and milk". That is an interesting phenomenon that has been occurring ever since the blizzard of 1978. At the first mention of snow (it matters not how little) the grocery shelves are cleared of both bread and milk. Since I have lived over half a century and given global warming, I don't expect to ever be snowed in for a week again; but evidently many people do. I truly just needed to pick up a few things for the pitch-in dishes I have to fix this week. Add snow panic to the panic that sets in 10 days before Christmas and you have the insanity that was the supermarket yesterday. After listening to the worst case scenario of the weather forecasters the storm for which we were all bracing,in anticipation or dread depending on your perspective, sort of fizzled. Our 8-12 inches is more like 4-6 inches, but there is an added layer of ice that we weren't expecting. It was bad enough for church to be cancelled today and they are asking us to stay off the roads. The winds have picked up and there is drifting. I am still thinking that clear in the morning or not I will be driving the little ones to school. So, say a little prayer for all us drivers in the morning; we will need all the help we can get. Is it Winter Break yet?
