We woke up bright and early this morning to the news of closed schools and open work, so Jay scurried out the door (he had a meeting this morning) while I enjoyed my first cup of coffee in peace (the kids slept until 7:30am). Since it rained (or dropped wintry mix) all day, we were sequestered inside and didn't have a chance to get out any energy outside (in fact, I think my VivoFit will confirm that this is the least number of steps I've taken in a day yet...) Around noon Jay found out work was closing early (1:00pm) due to expected worsening weather conditions (some folks have to drive to Clinton or Jackson, or north or east to Louisiana even to get home, where snow/ice conditions were worse than here in the 'Burg) and I continued to anxiously watch the weather map for our wintry mix to turn to snow (we were originally predicted to be on the edge of the 1-2" and 2-4" zone today). It wasn't until 4:30pm that we got straight snow though, and it still wasn't cold enough for it to stick (not to mention all the rain/melted ice on the ground for it to disappear in), but the kids and I rushed out anyway to catch some snowflakes on our tongue. It may not have been much, but it was worth it to them.
