5:00 AM Dogs restless, woke me up. Took them out. Fed them early breakfast. Went back to bed.
9:15 AM Dogs restless; got up, woke Michael up. Turned on heaters. House very cold. Ate breakfast. Discussed day's "plans" w/ Michael. Schools all closed, no kindergarten. Lots of ice on roads. Michael playing video games for lack of anything else to do.
I did actually go out last night to return a video to Redbox (though it ended up being late so we still have to pay the extra $1). I was in the Volvo wagon which has a "winter" mode... basically it won't let you accelerate very fast at all so you don't slide all over the place. Every time I would come to a complete stop though, I would slide. Luckily I was braking very slowly and driving very slowly so sliding a couple inches to the right every time I stopped wasn't so scary. But it was really slow going.
As many of my blog readers are from Utah, the concept of everything shutting down for 3 inches of snow is mind-blowing. However, this video beautifully demonstrates why everything shuts down with snow here.
