Double Whammy!

Once again we have to re-arrange our lives around the weather. This time we should have known it was going to hammer us - the weatherman was only calling for snow showers and 3 - 5 inches of possible accumulation. The drive to work was a white-out and it did not stop all day.




Tonight we had to dig our cars out just to get home. All over town tonight employers are giving notice that a powder clause will be in effect tomorrow. 


Powder hounds at the ready...(did we say "EPIC!" - I think so)
