Baby, it's cold outside!

What a strange couple weeks this has been! In fact, we are stretching our brains trying to remember when we were last able to teach a full five day week!

It started with the unexpected early start to our winter break in December (due to the power outages) and has continued with 5 inches of snow being dumped on us the other night. Usually in this area it all melts away in a day or so, but here we are four days later with a street that's still so covered in compact snow and ice that cars can't get up or down our hill without spinning wildly. Not to mention that missed school on Thursday and Friday now puts us at 7 missed days and potentially going to school until June 28! And winter is far from over! Yikes!

The good news...Basie loved playing in the deep snow on Wednesday night.

The bad news...our car ended up off the road yesterday. Fortunately no one was hurt, but the car has been towed to an auto body shop with some ugly front-end damage. We'll know more about how extensive it is on Monday.
