Great, just great! The forecasters weren't kidding when they said it was going to storm today. The morning was fine. I ran a few errands and thankfully had some food delivered. It started snowing around lunch time and it doesn't look like its going to stop any time soon.
Mayor Bloomberg was on the news saying it was a very dangerous storm and travel wasn't advised. That got Chris going. Mr. Optimist decided there's no way its as bad as the experts are saying so he phoned Kent to say our plans would stay the same. Hmm, Kent however didn't feel the same way. He told Chris he could try and get home if he wanted, but since the airports were all closed, it might be an adventure!
The kids were in the living room during that weather report and Lily stunned us all by bursting into tears. Took a little digging but it turns out she thinks the storm is all her fault because she was hoping for some snow. Chris and I took turns assuring her it wasn't her fault at all. I don't think she really believed us but at least it stopped the tears.
Connor was just mad the NASCAR race was postponed because of rain in Florida. He had to phone Pam and complain. She even talked to Lily, telling her the snow wasn't her fault. I don't know what she said to everyone but it got them all calm again. Sometimes I don't know what we'd do without Pam.
