The flu and The snow

After a very nasty nasal swab test, the oldest was officially diagnosed with the flu. She is on tamiflu and an antibiotic. The rest of us get to take a preventative dose of tamiflu for the next 10 days.

Then our weekend was capped off when the snow began to fall on Sunday night. School was closed by 8:00, which allows the lovelies to sleep in instead of getting up early to watch the news and pray for those magic words letting them know about the cancellation.

It appears, upon measuring the snow piled on the patio fire pit, we have just shy of 4 inches of snow. The bigger news is the cold temps. It is going to stay below freezing until the weekend, which means the white stuff could stick around for a while.

I'm enjoying some coffee and going to get dressed, walk the dog (he loves snow) and enjoy an unexpected extra day tacked onto our weekend. I could even imagine the kids being out of school tomorrow...yep, it could happen.

Winter Wonderland in January in The Ville!
