snow day II

The county decided to close schools for today and did so last night. Nice for the kids to be able to sleep in again and not worry about watching the closing list scroll across the bottom of the television.

I hate those scrolling lists and the 'tab' graphics and the severe weather map graphic. By the time they are done loading the screen with all that information, you can hardly see what you tuned in to watch!  We were all ready to watch some quality TV drama, Lie to Me, my latest guilty pleasure starring that wonderful Brit, Tim Roth. The screen was so littered with information, it was difficult to focus on the show. Ugh.

Not sure what the kids will want to do today other than to make sure they are ready to go back to school tomorrow. I think they all have a bit of homework to finish for Wednesday. I also think they all have some chores they can do.

The roads look clear, but I imagine the decision to cancel school was based on some of the more rural roads and bridges that most likely got quite icy as the sun went down and the temps dropped. Just not enough salt and sand trucks in this part of the world.

Happy Snow Day II.
