We were supposed to get 1-3 inches and now the forecast has changed to 4-8. I love it, but I also have to pick Eleanor up from her dad's at 6 PM. It concerns me only because Omaha drivers are not the greatest in winter weather, to put it politely.Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-34934609113059338552021-02-21T10:48:39.623-06:002021-02-21T10:48:39.623-06:00Of course.Of course.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-37525982716243754792021-02-21T10:47:13.034-06:002021-02-21T10:47:13.034-06:00Shoveling the driveway would not have been a probl...Shoveling the driveway would not have been a problem for the two inches that we got!

A snow day when my daughter was in grade school was a big event. Somewhere in all of us, despite the grumbling, I think a little of that remains.
