This is Snow Good

We were going to leave this evening to get back home. That plan got shot down with the blizzard that has covered most of the area we need to drive through. So we are looking at leaving tomorrow giving the road crews some time to clear the roads. Good thing we didn’t make a run for it yesterday.

Yesterday we went to the Center for Puppetry Arts and saw their production of “Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer”. Which Caroline thoroughly enjoyed as did I. The production values were great. They had lots of silly stuff for the adults including ‘elf help. Afterwards she built a Rudolph puppet. We wandered around the Museum for a bit and then went home.

It has been an interesting couple of days. I have seen people I haven’t seen in quite a while but it has been comfortable getting back together. The storm caused us to stay a little longer but it turned out for the best over all.

Tomorrow we’ll do something and then pack up and head home. It has been a very nice visit (thanks Mom and Dad) and I am glad that we did it.

I am grateful for neighbors who help us even when we are not around.

It was good to see you, too.

How's your driveway?

I was in North Carolina for Christmas. I'd planned on leaving for home Sunday morning, but that's when the snow hit, and the Triangle (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill) got between six and eight inches of snow. And knowing how the Triangle gets with snow (I remember one January snowfall of a quarter-inch that paralyzed the city for twelve hours), sitting tight seemed best.

The interstates in North Carolina were really good today, and I could tell that the blizzard tapered off to nothing a little north of Richmond.

So you should be good from North Carolina through Maryland. Can't help you the rest of the way, sorry.
