So the 4-6 inch snowstorm ended up producing 8-10 inches in the metro area and sometimes double that in the outstate. Luckily for me it didn't take me any longer than usual to get home from work. The roads are still not the best this morning, but snow was not the reason I was late this morning. It was the sun. I love not going in to work in the total dark anymore but the sun now causes new problems. I think I'm going to have to leave earlier or risk the slow traffic problem each time my drive takes me due east. Well, that was about the most boring paragraph ever, now wasn't it? We'll wrap it up by thanking my lucky stars that I wasn't one of the hundreds of people in the ditch yesterday or in the 30 mile traffic jam on 94 east of Hudson. That must have been just a big ball of fun.

I hope Kris gets a chance to take Annika outside to play in the snow today. They have music class and then nap time this afternoon so I don't know if he will or not. If not, I think I'll bundle her up when I get home and throw her in the nearest snowbank. Our winter has been so wimpy that Annika hasn't had much snow play time. Of course, there will be pictures. There are always pictures.

Kris called me at work this morning for no apparent reason other than he misses me. (Ahhhh) He did have one new Annika trick to share with me though. Now when Kris sings "Old MacDonald" Annika will sing the E-I-E-I-O and the animals noises parts for him. How cute! And interactive! My girl child is obviously a genius. I kid, of course. She's a super genius!
