We were suppose to get 1in of snow today but it has turned into 6in so far and it's still snowing.
The kids had school but were dismissed at 10am. My 15yr. old son's bus wound up in a ditch and it took them 2 hours to get home then the bus got stuck in front of our apartment building but managed to get going. His bus driver told them that even if there is school tomorrow that they all could just stay home because she wasn't coming to get them. LOL!! Ahter all the kids got off the bus it started leaning to the side even more.
My DD gets picked up by her boyF's mom and it took them almost an hour to get here and it usually takes 10 minutes then another hour for them to get to their home a 15 minute drive.

All in all this is the snow I have been waiting for all winter. LOL!!! Now that everyone is home except for DH I can relax until he has to drive home from work at 7:30pm.

you can't see off in the distance due to the snow. There is a main highway out there somewhere that we can usually see.

Ugh, I am so sick of snow I hope it stays down there where you are. I think that storm is supposed to be moving up the coast to us! We have so much snow our dog house is almost completely buried! I would say there is at least 30" in our yard right now. The drifts from having our driveway plowed are well over 5ft! I am so sick of weekly snowstorms and driving in this crap! I guess I should quit my b**ching. I definitely would prefer snow over ice.

There are multiple car accidents and 2 buses wound up in the ditch and 1 that flipped but I haven't heard any more news about it yet.

Minnesota roads and weather is no better here! Had to get a MO for Sue here on the quilting board...wow, I could see now why our schools were 2 hours late and on plowed roads only picking up kids. KY with that much snow is not good..stay safe & warm. It has been a very strange winter for all!

hope it does not come here. I've seen enough snow this winter!

I don't want the snow either!!! We have another snowfall coming this evening.. Yuck! No school all last week and The kids are still out of school today and tomorrow doesn't look good either.

Well least we have a working furnace, a fireplace, roof over our head, and food in the pantry.. Now if I can only get off this compute long enough to actually get some quilting done we'd be good !! :thumbup:
