I know, that's like 4 inches of snow! IT'S SNOWMAGEDON! The Pacific Northwest has shut down. We are having a snow day. Other places have gotten a lot more snow than we have. And it is still snowing, but...still it makes me giggle a little bit.
Here are the facts:
-This past weekend was suppose to be, what I like to call, a snowpocalypse. Everyone was freaking out and getting ready for a big snow - at least 3 inches. The frozen pizzas were flying off the shelf! And then it didn't even snow an inch.
-The weather people have been saying that we were going to get at least 8" of snow today. All the schools would be closed. It would be CRAZY! SNOWMAGEDON! So people started getting ready - what frozen pizzas were left were flying off the shelf. We woke up to about 4 inches of snow. But...
-Of the something like 166 school districts in Western Washington, as of last check, all but 3 are closed. (Poor kids at those 3.)
-Brent's work went from a two hour delay to a cancellation. (Woho!)
So, we're snowed in. With 4 inches of snow. But it is still snowing. And we have food - no frozen pizzas for us. So we're good.
But it is fun to have a snow day!
**What is the deal with the frozen pizzas, you ask? Well, a few years ago, they were predicting a huge snowstorm right before Christmas - this one did turn out to be a huge snowstorm. We had about 18" at Christmas. Anyway, we had just gotten home from San Diego so we HAD to go grocery shopping. The lines to check out went all the way to the back of the store. It was crazy. So I was walking through the store trying to think of things we could make if the power went out, because, let's face it, that happens a lot here. So I got some soup and stuff like that. But when I walked down the frozen food aisle, there wasn't a single frozen pizza left. Guess that's emergency preparedness for Western Washington. It's now become our joke. We know it's not going to be a big thing if there are still frozen pizzas.**
Hope you are warm and safe where you are!

That is funny!! I love to see things that are completely gone. It always makes me laugh. I guess frozen pizzas have to do if the poor delivery people can't even make it out. We have gotten rain here the past 2 days. Weird. I don't remember it raining so much on the winter. I think our 2 states are a but confused! Glad you are safe and warm with food :)
That is funny!

At least yours is frozen pizza, ours is beer and maybe bread!!!!
Glad you're safe and snugly warm!
