Let it snow!

Somewhere from the depths of the National Weather Service came a forecast for major snow.  It started rather innocently at 2:00 but soon became a big deal.  By school dismissal at 2:40, the roads were slick and the white stuff was collecting, big time.  The trip home on I-70 wasn't much fun, but I survived.  The winds have picked up.  I expect at least a 2-hour delay for the morning, if not a cancellation.  We shall see!

The real good news is that Meg got busy calling places about getting the Taurus' heating situation fixed.  One place she called said they could take the car right away.  He said they had seen a lot of heat problems with that particular car and that it almost always was something plugged at the heater core, requiring a power flush.  Well...Nathan did the power flush himself...and it worked!!  I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop.  The car now has heat.  I just hope it lasts!  If it stays fixed, it will have saved me $150 in labor.  (It IS my car, after all...)

I shoveled 4-5 inches of snow around 4:30 this afternoon while it was still snowing.  Depending on the declaration in the morning, I will have to do a couple more then.  Have I mentioned how LONG winter is when inclement weather comes before Christmas??

My plan is to go to Muncie this weekend to provide another set of hands so Meg can shop.  Weather permitting.  I shopped our new Super-Wal-Mart yesterday and was totally UNimpressed with the basic selections.  MUCH better prices for food, but other merchandise has declined in choice.  Not good!

The early morning will determine the schedule for tomorrow.  If I get THE call about school, it will come around 6:00 AM.  For now, I have to plan as if it will be school as usual.  Nightie-night!
