We’re expecting to turn on the radio or my favorite news show on Monday morning to hear that there’s another snow day at the school (and all the other ones too). When we had the snow day the week before last we had gotten about 20 cm of snow. This weekend, starting on Sunday, we’re expected to start seeing snow through until Monday for a total accumulation of anywhere between 15 and 40 cm. That’s 5 to 15 inches, for Americans. And that’s one forecast; last night I heard on the local news that it could be up to 60 cm, which is 23 inches. I don’t think we’ll get quite that much but I do think it will be enough to close the schools down again. And honestly, yay because who wants to deal with all that?!
The biggest issue with the coming snow is whether it will cause trouble for us tomorrow. We’re fine for food – we have leftover spaghetti sauce, leftover grilled pork chops, two whole chickens, ground beef, black beans, and sides all on the menu and all in our fridge or pantry. We could use some more milk, but we have two and a half loaves of bread and eggs. Even with storm warnings, we’re definitely not in dire straits for food (though I don’t have any chips, and that’s somewhat alarming…).
However, we’re getting a new entertainment/wall unit. Well, sort of. Our friends got a new TV which is too big for the wall unit they have so they offered it to us. It’s a nice wood and I’m not crazy about the one we have now so we said yes. I think we’re supposed to be getting it tomorrow since they now have their new stuff and the old unit (haha, unit, haha… sorry) all crammed together, but obviously that will be a problem if it’s a massive snowstorm. Hopefully it will hold off (or not start at all) until it’s all done.

Muffin Watch 2007 – last night’s fresh dozen of Cinnamon Muffins are now whittled down to only two remaining, both of which will likely be devoured by Hayley for breakfast tomorrow. I may need to make more AGAIN.
I’ll admit I’m the tiniest bit jealous of your snowstorm. Of course, I don’t have to LIVE it or try to get around in it, but if you can stay cozied up inside with hot chocolate, it’s rather dreamy.
Muffins – we have that happen with Pumpkin muffins & Miss B. She’s unstoppable. Good thing I’m able to sneak in lots of Whole Wheat flour….
