Level Three Snow Emergency

Well here I am on a Thursday - snowed in with 15 inches and our county has forbidden anyone to drive on the roads, unless you are an emergency vehicle! So an extra holiday for West Chester! The snow started on Wednesday morning and is just now letting up. John was able to get me to Meijer's yesterday morning around 11 and we did all our Christmas weekend shopping. It took us an hour in the store, but I saved over 40% on the bill with coupons. Unfortunately they were out of a few things. John had to go in to work, so I ventured out to Krogers on my own...we had about 8 inches at that point. Living in Buffalo for a few years helped me negotiate the roads, but I think poor Henrietta thought she was back in Buffalo. I had over an inch to clear off her when I got done in the store. I decided against going anywhere else, although I still have to pick up Daniel's gifts for the boys and a stocking stuffer that I couldn't find. John Morrell even sent John home early last night! If the level three continues, he may not have to go in today. They called Michael at 10:30 last night and told him not to come in. Well, I'm going to spend the day baking and finishing gifts for the office people. I will probably need to go in tomorrow for awhile, as they did not get the Christmas Eve Bulletins finished and Monie is sick. But today is a SNOW DAY!

Just got on the computer and found your entry on here. Wow, lotsa snow, Dad thought you were getting it in Cincy. I was afraid it would keep you from coming up, I wouldn't want you to if it is unsafe to travel. This is a tricky time of year. Glad Dad and I aren't trapped in an airport somewhere. Love you all.
