It’s been really busy around here – let me try to catch up with everything that’s been happening.
The most surprising news — we had two snows this winter. The first one in January was very pretty and nothing to worry about. School was cancelled and I enjoyed a short drive to the grocery store. Due to the low temperatures and possible threat of icy roads (well, a threat to southern drivers), the next day had a 2 hr delay!

school cancelled for this?!
The next snowfall was in February and was a real snow shower! I watched the news, kept checking websites, but school was on! The roads were slick, but we all made it safely. Most of my students arrived for lab, too.
School officials received so many complaints, a 2 hr delay was scheduled for the next day. Most was melted by then, but we all enjoyed another slow morning.

En route to school
We almost had a hat trick! Last week, there was a threat of serious snow, and the schools gambled and scheduled a 2 hr delay. But the snow never made it to Florence, though many inches fell in North Carolina.
So, even though we didn’t have 3 snows, we did get a hat trick of 2 hr delays!
