We were in the - in between - zone. When the real storm hit a little ice started to fall..... and the snow that was supposed to come didn't. Instead, the storm pummeled Midwest Missouri and Chicago with feet of snow. We ended up with and inch of ice and an inch of snow. Heather still had to go to work, highways were closed between StL and Kansas City and everyone heeded the warnings and stayed home.
The kids had the storm day off and then the day after, which I had no problems about, it was really slick on the roads. And then, after 2 days of not having the opportunity to clear the parking lots and sidewalks of the schools, a third day off. I think the school district could have amassed a thousand parents with Mega-Trucks, plows, shovels and thousands of pounds of salt to clear the way of the kids. I mean, if Wal-mart can clear their parking lot and the school can't ??????
So we spent the time off sorting Legos and putting Lego kits together, reading, playing card games, watching movies. The kids do miss school and their friends and teachers....
