No Day Like A Snow Day!

Here we are on day two of school bus cancellations due to bad weather conditions here in south-central Ontario. Actually, I didn't even have to check the news or the internet to know that the busses were cancelled the morning. The wind and thunder that woke me up at 5:30am had already told me.

Today's weather brings the added joys of warmer weather in the morning with sudden and severe drops later on, giving rise to possible flash freezing. Those of us who lived through the Ice Storm of '98 in southern Quebec all cringed in unison when the weather man uttered those fateful words. You know it's bad when they shut down not only the busses, but also some secondary highways in the area. Heck, even the dog didn't want to go out for her morning pee.

Of course, the real challenge is going to be keeping the kids entertained for the second day in a row.

So, batten down the hatches, maties. Looks like we're in for one heck of a ride.
