OK y’all, it’s been an interesting week so here goes:

Monday, took these girls skating (low light photo; sorry)

Then we had a fire before the really cold weather set in:

Tuesday evening, it did indeed begin to snow:

And accumulate:

And the next morning it looked like this:

This is just ice, I know, but we NEVER get this here:

We took them to the playground with the hill I always thought would be good for sledding:

By Thursday, it was starting to melt some; Isaac and I scraped it from outside cars and played some ball with it:

1. This week has been weird, with the kids only having school on Tuesday and even then, got out one hour early. I can’t wait for them to be back to normal next week.
2. Roads seem clear now but they still called no school today due to ice. We went out last night and the major roads are definitely drivable.
3. We had a meeting for brew club, which was fun, but Ash and I both got a touch of the food poisoning. I feel much better today but he’s still in bed.
4. My plan for the day is to get work work done – grading, making lectures – and prep for tomorrow’s beer festival in town. I am mostly ready but have to print and laminate signs.
5. With the temps what they are, I don’t know when, if at all, the kids will have soccer/reffing. They typically say no games when it’s under 40 but I can tell you that it’s low enough humidity that even 20s doesn’t feel all that cold. We took a short walk yesterday and I was barely cold. But being Florida, and overly cautious, I am guessing no game. It’s week four and she has played exactly one and a half games due to weather. Sigh.
