Lydia's school follows PG county decisions re: weather, but the decision isn't always appropriate for her school's demographics--i.e., we're all suburban, not rural, all kids are driven to school, etc. So we'll see if she has any school this week! Night before last we went over to Karl's parents to visit and get Karl's old Flexible Flyer sled. Thier street had not been plowed at all. We've been plowed twice. Karl has done a great job of getting thinks cleared, but still, watch your step when coming up the driveway for Third Friday. (No, I don't know where you'll park!) I've been off snow duty and mostly on my back since I made the very bad decision to try to carry two bags of kitty litter simultaneously Sunday night. It's slowly getting better. I hope Costco will have its lot well plowed tomorrow since I still have some WSFA stuff to get. So, who's going to brave the roads?

The snow has stopped but the problems haven't. Commuting to work today was not a fun experience -- before I could do anything, I had to shovel about a ton of snow the plow had deposited at the mouth of the driveway (this, after having to remove about double that last night at 11pm). But the roads are getting more and more driveable. Slowly.
