After The Storm

We got a taste of what everyone in NNY got and it looks like all will be back to normal soon here.

Kids had no school yesturday and from the tv it was 100's of school districts shut down for the day. Here this morning Zack has a 2 hour delay and I think that is mainly from the cold and the wind chill.

It was interesting to say the least being someone from snow country where 5' plus high snow banks are not that distant of a memory to see everything come to nearly a stop over the snow we got. At Shelly's plant, they decided not to run one shift last night and because driving was a bit nasty Shelly canceled her flight which was a good thing. She would have made it out of Harrisburg with a 2 hour delay but then would have missed her connecting flight out of Chicago.

Ahhh, another time for that conference I guess. She still is scheduled to go to Memphis next week. Man, these people like to travel don't they.

So we took off for Walmart yesturday morning and that was lovely....no traffic and no one in the stores. We bought Zack a sled cause we have a nice hill in our side yard that will be great for sledding but it got too cold yesturday so maybe today after school he can get out.

So we're used to all these huge plow trucks with sanders....actually seeing NY state trucks scraping the dust off the roads is more like it. Here in our town they have one small dump truck with a plow and a couple of trucks with plows that they keep the streets cleaned with.

Down here they get snow like this maybe once a year so you can understand why the $$ doesn't go towards snow removal. It was a bit funny though to see people scurry about in a panic ahead of the storm.

I think we ended up with about 7 inches of snow. A little further north and they have double that.
