We have had another week without school. Monday was a teacher prep day, and then it started snowing on Tuesday. It snowed about 5 inches, then overnight on Tuesday night we got about an inch of ice, then another 3 or 4 inches on Wednesday. The ice caused lots of power outages across the whole area. Luckily, this time our power stayed on. I didn't have work on Wednesday, however, because the plant didn't have power.In Utah the roads probably would have all been cleared within a day. Here, however, they were unable to handle the snow combined with the ice. They are just beginning to get many of the side roads cleared now. Isaac and Mariana have been happy to have a week at home with Sam, although he did leave a few times to look for work. School is going to extend well into June to make up for all the lost days.

I feel so bad for the teachers who have to make up snow days! It is so miserable, no one wants to be there on those days. I'll bet you won't want to either. Good luck to Sam finding a job. How's the job market out there?

Dallas had a bit of a winter storm also, but unfortunately, we didn't get any snow—just a sheet of ice. The schools let out early one day in anticipation of the storm. But then the storm didn't actually hit until that night. The next morning no one could go anywhere! Craig stayed home and James' school was delayed until noon, but then was canceled because the school had no power. Everything was back to normal by the time I had to take E & L to the allergist for testing in the late afternoon.
And the next day the temperature was almost 70 degrees! :-)
that is just too cold for my comfort. I'll stay here where it is about 50.
love you
