The Weather Man in Ohio

Today My friends have all been making fun of me. I watched the news this morning to see what the weather was going to be like. Just snow and 40 % at that. Well Mr. Weather Man you were wrong. This afternoon I took the kids out to the mall to buy Daddy's Birthday Presents. Before we left it was barely snowing we were only in the mall for about an hour when I looked out the window and holy cow the cars were covered. Being new back into the snow driving I started to panic. I quickly bundled up and the kids and ran out the door with them. When I got to the parking lot it was almost empty. Almost empty. I stood there for a min. in a panic. Do I call my Hubby to come get us? Do I try to go home myself? I didn't know what to do. While we were walking to the car there were some JA's in the parking lot doing donuts. I was so scared they would hit us. The Summit mall is about 25 minutes from our house. Tonight it took me 55 min to get home. I was going a slow creep all the way home. It was a quiet drive home. The radio was off. My knuckles were white from the grip I had on the wheel. I had myself in such a panic I was in tears. Finally we arrived home. I have been waiting for the snow and I am so excited its here I just hate driving in it and I hate to have the kids drive in it with me. Then on the flip side I hate driving out in the snow by myself with out the kids and have something happen to me. BOOGERS. Lets just say I love the snow and I love to being home bound watching it outside. All night I kept hearing from my friends and my husband saying " Well you wanted this ". True and I'm thank full but tonight it would have been great if I would have had an accurate weather report so I didn't take the kids out in this muck.
I did get to come home and shovel it. It was beautiful. There was 6 1/2 inches abt about 815 tonight. My husband said not to shovel it but I told him its what I wanted to do tonight for my quiet time. Just me the dark peaceful sky and the beautiful fluffy snow falling all around me. It was breath taking and beautiful. Unfortunately for me the snow was falling faster than I could shovel for it. The drive way was covered already. That's OK I love to be out there. My husband told me not to do it and he would but Id rather do it. My dad has this high powered Snow Blower with a tarp looking thing on it but its too powerful for me. I'll take my shovel any day.
I did hear a bit ago that the Weather man said that they might have lots of school closings on Monday. This is suppose to be a great big storm. :) Bring It on. I'm loving the snow:) I will take pictures tomorrow when its light.
