Last night I was very frustrated wasting a perfectly good night of not sleeping by not reading. The book was simply too uncomfortable to read in bed. I did finally get up and read on the couch for awhile.

Traditionally if schools have too many snow days they tack a couple of days on to the end of the school calendar. Apparently in Maryland, for some strange reason, the governor mandated all school districts must end by June 15th. Craig is not happy about these 2 days off of work since they have to made up at sometime. He is concerned there will only be 3 days of Spring Break.

I would be an angry parent if my vacation plans were ruined.

Having to end school by a very specific date is the weirdest thing.

I wonder what reasoning went into that decision.

Well, we were lucky right here — looks like about three inches — whereas Lawn Guyland got killed. I’m hearing nineteen inches or thereabouts? And vixmom’s pictures tell the tale. Plus, the city itself is unreal, man. We haven’t seen this in a while.

New pix on FB if anyone cares to move them

Here's the first:

That is my blue van on the left, the white lump on the right is Vixdad's car

This was after I shoveled the walk ( the snowblower doesn't fit through the gate) I am not measuring the side where I threw the snow, thus is the untouched side....not a drift, actual snowfall

I am not sure why the pictures are not showing up when I quote

And thank you George and Jack for posting them for me

The interesting thing is that the town was so well prepared that the roads were pristine once you could get out of your driveway

I suspect any parents with vacation plans will go anyway

I know. Someone wanted it and the governor gave them what they wanted.
