Snowmaggedon

Tomorrow, we are expecting about 20 inches of snow.  We were under the impression that this 20 inches of snow is something that happens once every 10 years but this is the second time in 6 weeks. Matt’s work has been cancelled, all schools cancelled throughout DC and VA but not us. We have to get up at 6am to find out if school is on or not on the website. Sigh, why can’t they just cancel it like everyone else? It will start snowing at 10.30am so kids will only be at school for an hour. Apparently, the snow storm will hit 10 states across the east of the USA.  Huge! Matt went to the store today and all bottled water, toilet paper, vegetables were sold out!

We are going on a mission tomorrow to help our care group leader whose 5 year son just had a big operation.  She homeschools her 4 kids, which is a lot on her plate,  so the whole group has put a roster together to do her laundry, grocery shopping, food cooking, ferrying her other three kids to their activities.  The little boy cannot be exposed to any type of sunlight while he heals so she is very limited in what she can do.  So, I have cooked up some of my fried rice, the only dish I do well, and deliver it to their place tomorrow all before 9.30am to be back before the snowstorm starts. Wish us well!

This was our place on Wed morning, very white and pristine.  Poor Matt got up, thinking work was cancelled but he had to go anyway! Fortunately, we have a neighbour who works at the same office as Matt offered him a ride all the way to DC.
