Whoot! I never believe the predictions of snow here in Baltimore- more often than not you just end up massively disappointed. HOWEVER, once in while... they get it right. Today, they were right... we got a noreaster through here overnight (which for baltimore is only about 4 inches) but as previously established, it only takes about an inch to shut down the city.
So- silly me- I drove my sorry self in to work... not knowing if it had been cancelled or not (we apparently don't have a good system for sharing this sort of information at my work place) only to find, that in fact no one was there, nor were they going to be. SO I made it in safely, and sure, could have gotten all sorts of work done in the quiet office- but no... I turned around and drove my sorry (but gleeful) self back home. Hows that for a work ethic for you?? :) (I do feel a little twinge of guilt...) Ah well. I think surprise snow days are a brilliant thing...(perhaps even moreso if you were to find out before you got up and drove in to work... but whatever...) everyone needs 'em once in a while. And hopefully this is one last hurrah before we are on to spring!! I have to tell you, I'd still take sunshine and green grass any day over snow.
Happy snow day to you!

Hey there Maunz sisters...
It was a spectacular day... on the news they said the last comparable snowfall was in 2006! Know you are all crazily missed in these here parts... as I sit eating dinner (which is coconut rice and red beans with a luscious kale salad mind you) with my computer... oh yes yes, and Junebug of course. Anyhow- anna- its been so lovely following you on your travels, I SO want to get out and do the same! It looked like SUCH good fun.
Katie- went on a long cold walk this afternoon. Missed you. Too cold for snow angles.
