2 Hour Delay Day

We are in the midst of our second somewhat major snow storm today.  We are supposed to get 5-9 inches of snow and finish the storm off with freezing rain. All of our local schools are closed...except mine. We are on a 2 hour delay. While I can't complain TOO much, but Dave and I thought we would be off for sure. The only part of a 2 hour delay that is really lousy is that I have my 1st period class (aka the most difficult and wild class) for ONE HOUR! To be honest, all of the schools around my school closed, so we may (hopefully) follow suit.  If I do have school, I will need to leave at 8:45 am to be ready for kids at 10 am. My commute is a solid 30 minutes in good weather, but it is up into the southern Adirondacks so as the elevation goes up so does the snow accumulation!

While I am not a lover of snow in terms of skiing or other outdoor activities, I do love to watch it fall.  Dave and I always remark about the beauty of snow piled on the trees, especially the evergreens.  I also love when I look out on the front yard, and the snow is whole without foot or paw prints. It is a beautiful sight. Sometimes I wonder if I would miss winter if we lived in a warmer place, and I am not sure what my answer would be. My favorite seasons are summer and fall. For the most part, I could do without winter and spring. But on days like today, the world feels safe and sheltered and beautiful.
