Come on, Snow Miser. Is that all you’ve got? Bring it on!

Three major storms in a week, not to mention all of the ice.

I was wondering if we’ll get sent home early again today, but it looks like it’s tapering off a bit.

Yeah well it’s enough snow that my husband’s plane is at least two hours late going from Boston to O’Hare ☹

And that means he will absolutely miss his connecting flight to get to KC ☹☹☹

I’ve texted him later flights on his airline so hopefully he will get home **today**.

Heh. Not in downtown Boston it doesn’t. I’m looking at the snow as I’m typing this and thinking about how I’ve been spending more time with my shovel than my wife. ☹

Really? Earlier we had big ol’ flakes. Now they’re the itty bitty ones.

I don’t mind either way, but this better be cleared up by Saturday. If my flight doesn’t leave on time, someone’s cute little puppy is going to die a horrible death.

Looks like it’s slowing down here too. I’ll go out and do a final plow run once I’m sure, and then wrap some gifts and take a nap. Or, just nap 🙂
