Snow Day :)

So school is cancelled today due to the snow and ice from yesterday.  It didn't seem like that much snow fell to me, but perhaps there was more than I thought, but the sidewalks and streets sure were icy last night when I walked to Walgreens around dinner time!  Cars were sliding all over the roads and not many storefronts had iced the sidewalks.  That was probably because most of the stores had closed around 4 or 5pm due to the weather.  I went out around 11am to go shopping and at that time stores already had signs up saying "If the weather does not get better, our store will be closing at 4pm" or "Due to the inclement weather, we will be closing tonight at 5pm" or such.  I didn't think the weather was that bad, PLUS it was the second to last weekend for holiday shopping so it shocked me that the would close early during the rush of shopping!  I thought there were still quite a few people out!  But today, there is no more snow falling :( though they are saying it might happen.  Instead it is just sunny but suuuuuper windy.  The ice has not melted any on the sidewalks either and I need to go to the grocery store, so perhaps I will venture out in my car... perhaps.
