Canada
February 1, 2008 9:06am CST
It is now 10AM and it has been snowing now for four to five hours straight!!! All buses are canceled and some schools are closed...I'm just glad that I don't have to work today however, I am waiting for my husband to arrive home safely from his work!! My son's therapist canceled service for today and I can't blame her! So what are things like where you live today? Me, I'm staying in! I have lots of food...I just hope the power doesn't fail! Have a safe and happy February 1st all! ~Heavens~

I have been waiting for the snow to come too, since yesterday the forecasters have been telling us we will have snow. I woke up this morning thinking that if it had I could keep the kids at home and have a little lie in, but when I got up - nothing so up I got to get the kids ready for school!! So today has been as normal with just the odd snow shower, but boy has it been cold! We have also had gusting winds, up to 80 mph so im reliably informed, so im glad that its friday now and I can stop at home all weekend and just let the weather do what it wants!! Hope you dont get too much snow and your power doesnt go off and that your husband gets back from work ok.

So sorry my dear Gabs.... I keep offering to send people some of this snow but it has been brought to my attention that by the time it arrived at the other end it would be water and I am sure you have lots of that! LOL Have a great day my friend! ~Heavens~

Thanks so much sugerfloss for dropping by so late in the evening to share my day with me! :) My husband should be home within the hour, I am hoping, and my son is here with me so he will be fine and safe as we will be in all day today! I too like the summer and wish we did not get snow LOL Funny as I was raised here in Canada but I still don't like the mess snow makes for traveling!! Have a good sleep tonight and we shall meet again soon I hope :) ~Heavens~

Hi heavenschild, Well, I can certainly relate to all you've said here.;) It's now dinnertime, and the snow is still falling. I have no desire to go out in it. My daughter is going sledding with a group of friends tonight, which she hasn't done in years. I too, hope 'our' power holds out. Take care.

Thanks. I spent quite a long time sleeping, and now look how late I'm up. My daughter had fun, but she came in soaking wet, and has to work in the morning. They've shovelled off our 'interlock,' for the second time, and were actually able to plow out the driveway, because 'there was no car in it.' Take care.

Hi Mom, It has been snowing for 13 to 14 hours and there is sooooo much out there now!!! My husband arrived home around 11AM and went back out about five hours later to clean off the car and do some more shoveling and I was shocked when I looked out to see how much snow was on the roof of the car!!! A few inches it looked to me but I am a bad judge!! I only know that it is most snow I have seen on a vehicle in years and I am not exagerating here! This is the biggest storm we have had here in years! I'm just glad that I did not have to go out today! :) I am sure your daughter will have fun sleding with all of that new snow :) Take care and I hope you have a nice relaxing evening. Love and Hugs to you ~Heavens~

Well considering you posted this Friday morning. we had some ice, but it wasn't that bad. They did close schools though, because the roads were somewhat slippery and they had a lot of students and staff out with the flu....
