Was warned by my pop yesterday to make sure I have plenty of food and supplied for the incoming snow storm. Ha. It never snows here, people just freak out and buy all the water and milk and then nothing happens. So I went to sleep last night figuring I would get up early and read some before class. I woke up to a call from one of my cohort asking if school was still a go. And outside my window was beautiful snow...and even now in the early afternoon it is still snowing! It snowed so hard and the wind blew so much last night that my recycling bin, sitting by my door and protected by the covered walkway, has a thin covering of snow on it. Good thing I went to the store a couple of days ago, I have plenty of soup and grilled cheese and mt dew to last me until it melts. Which will probably be tomorrow. But I did go out and play a bit and made a snowball. Ah snow days. Reminds of elementary school and praying the night before that God would just please please let school be canceled.
We have a new president today and I found myself getting choked up a little as the procession made their way to their seats. So many people standing out in the cold watching this, even if they can't really see it without the jumbotrons. The mall is covered with people. Amazing when it's even colder up there. The big thing though will be how Jon Stewart is going to be able to make fun of this tonight on The Daily Show.

Pipsqeak, it looks like you got more snow than we did. I only got maybe a 1/2". It was pretty though.
it's still around, you can tell the parts of the apt yard that don't get sunlight. All kinds of fun angles.
As long as you've not ran out of soup, grilled cheese...Mountain Dew...
actually I'm almost out of mt. dew (which is at times the only thing fueling this grad school train) so I'm off to the store tomorrow with my shiny paycheck to restock. : )
