Snow Day

Unless you are living under a rock, you know that the Cincinnati area has been hit with some winter weather. It apparently has made national headlines or something because Regina sent me an email asking if I was safe and warm and then one of the local news stations showed that The Weather Channel was in town reporting.

Last night, I took the camera outside before taking the dogs outside. To set this picture up, yesterday morning, I shoveled the sidewalk and a path to my car before I left for work. When I got home from work, I repeated the process before pulling my car into my parking space. That was around 5:45. The freezing rain had started so I did shovel some of that in this process. This is the picture of my sidewalk around 10:00 when I went back out.



And here is the front step at the same time.



This morning, I woke at 6 and it didn't look like there was any fresh snow on the cars. When I took the dogs out at 7:30, there was fresh snow. I forgot my camera so I had to come back in for it, but I didn't go out for the pictures immediately. There may have been a 15 minute delay. It was a mix of snow and freezing rain at this time.



You can see that the footprints have already been filled in a bit.



At this point, I believe that there was only one vehicle that had driven down the street. And I don't think that anyone from the parking lot has left. And all of the counties in the area have declared at least Level 1 snow emergencies with the big county that I work in at a Level 2. I called my boss and told her that I was not risking it by driving to work and getting stuck. She understood and now I have the whole day to sew. :)

It's now about 2 hours later and I just looked outside. I can barely tell where the side walk was shoveled yesterday and there are no signs of footprints. I'm glad I decided to stay home.

So is Max.



He hasn't left my side!
