Here are 3 pictures to show how much snow fell from Saturday night to Wednesday night [there was no snow on Tuesday]
The progression of our snow fall….
November 30th, 2006 | Posted by in Day-to-day things... - (1 Comments)Tonight, as we have been completely snowed in, Phil and I after being quite busy earlier decided we would make a late night dinner, as in 11:30… we made a yummy ham and cheese omlet. mmm mmm mmm!
After we had eaten and regained our energy, we thought it would be a good idea to enjoy the snow one last time before it melted away, especially since there is so much and its sooooo peaceful. So we walked around the block!
Phil was able to show me where his snow bank extravaganza. That was kinda funny, he was totally excited to share all the little details, and even pointed out which tracks were his.
Then we got back to my place, and realized we’ve enjoyed looking at the snow so much but have not played in it at all. So I made a snow angel, and Phil frolicked around the yard, althought according to him it was tooo deep to frolick
.
Hopefully tomorrow it doesnt rain and make the roads worse, and I prefer the quietness of snow over rain.
Well, a little while ago I just finished updating the College’s website to reflect the fact that the all-powerful “they” have decided to keep all College campuses closed again tomorrow. It’s pretty rough-looking outside, though, so I can see why they would decide to close it.
A couple hours ago I tried to go out to get some milk (because we are completely out) but what should have been a 10 minute trip to the store ended up being an hour-long spin around the block, as I ended up getting stuck and needed lots of help to get out. Ah well, it was an adventure for sure. It would have been a better adventure if Keltie wasn’t worried, though… I was in such a rush to try and get out (and I have such a one-track mind) that when I ran down to get Gary to help get me out I totally forgot to call, her, so when I finally did she was a little annoyed, to say the least. Everything turned out fine, though, so no harm done
.
Today, I woke up to see the “Important Message” on the college website, just to read that once again we have a snow day due to the poor conditions. At first I was very excited about this, as I was able to sleep in, not having to go outside and can enjoy the snow… but then I realized how close to the end of the semester we are. Today for example… I was to hand in my Professional Selling term project, and had a review of Advertising and Promotion. And, we had already missed these 2 classes on the previous snowday. With exams approaching, missing many days of school could be devastating as there is still lots of material to be learned. Hmm. Maybe tomorrow will be back to normal, and we wont lose anymore time, but just in case, I will be diligent and work on homework today.
Last night we had our weekly settlers of catan night at Sam and Naomi’s. Its always fun to go over and hang out… and last night was a special night…. it was CEREAL night. Everyone brought cereral and we ate it… mmm mmm mmm. We had all kinds, and no doubles: Holiday Fruitloops [they look like they have snow on them], Alphabets, Golden Grahams, Oatmeal Crisp, Frosted Mini wheats, and corn flakes. It was very yummy!
While we were there, Phil was telling Sam how he gets snow days, which escalated into the Stats, and holidays. Sam was saying he doesnt get snow days and was very sad… so today, we decided that since we had a snow day, we would take Sam a snowball. No, not the kind you throw at people, the yummy ones from Hot Chocolates. So we picked up some chocolates and dropped them off, unfortunatly he wasnt there so we actually dont even know if he liked it.
I guess that is all about our snow day…
So, to add to Phils fun… we had an awesome walk… it was just right out! By the time we got home our cheeks were red and our noses cold, but that added to the experience!
Since we dont have a fireplace, we werent able to snuggle up in front of the fire place, so instead we snuggled on the couch for a while, which was just fine for me! But, now I best be back to the homework!!!
We went for an awesome walk today in our wonderful winter wonderland which welcomed wistful whispering. Oooh, I’m good
. Anyway, we wandered around for awhile, then went to the park where Keltie went swinging and I took random pictures
and tossed balls of snow to her. Then we came home and had hot chocolate which was hot, actually, mine was just the right warmth because I added too much cream to it. And now we’re just hanging out and I’m helping Keltie work on her homework so that she can come to Emmaus tonight. The end of the beginning.
