Then the blizzard hit

Last night starting about sundown the blizzard hit. The wind was howling and the snow was blowing about the area. I could feel the cold coming off the walls of the house as we were buffeted by both snow and wind. It was a good night to be indoors. We went to bed not knowing what we would see this morning or if Caroline would have school today but my bet was no. Too bad I didn’t have money on it because I was right.
That they cancelled school was not too surprising since we spent about 90 minutes getting a path cut from the front door to the street. Peter cleared the sidewalk in front of the house so we are compliant with the village rules. I am going to go out and salt in a bit to make sure that we have everything in place. I really want to clear the sidewalk today so the sun has a chance to dry it out. I don’t even want to think what the side roads look like today and am glad we live on a major village artery. My guess is about 20 inches of snow.
Farpoint is looking good for us. Given another 24 hours, we will be able to get where we need to go. I am looking forward to seeing all my buddies (Note to Eta, I’ll have the stuff ready to go on Saturday. Alice in Wonderland is a good theme.) I have had to rethink the Art Show. I have stuff to bring but I think the dolls are going to wait until LunaCon.
I sliced a small chunk out of my left index finder after an accident with scissors (No, I was not running with them). It is a clean cut and I did all the stuff to make sure it stays that way but it hurts when I flex the finger.
Today is going to be about the packing and the cleaning along with keeping Caroline from going stir crazy as this is the second day she is stuck in the house.
I am grateful that we didn’t have more snow than we had and it wasn’t on top of the previous storm that missed us entirely.
