How Much Snow?!?!?

Yesterday was very enjoyable due to the fact that I was off of work and was able to enjoy the day with Madison. The bad part of the day was the report from the weather channel: 

...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM EST THIS
EVENING...
...BLIZZARD WARNING IS CANCELLED... (Finally, it had been in effect since 5pm Tuesday afternoon)

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN INDIANAPOLIS HAS ISSUED A WINTER

UNTIL 7 PM EST THIS EVENING. THE BLIZZARD WARNING HAS BEEN
CANCELLED.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

THIS WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR BLOWING SNOW MEANS THAT
VISIBILITIES WILL BE LIMITED DUE TO STRONG WINDS BLOWING SNOW

 So needless to say we had a blizzard! 10-15 inches depending on what area you were in. We were snowed in! We were urged to stay off the roads unless absolutely needed. Which for me, I have an anxiety attack even thinking about snow, so I was more than glad to stay inside and become a hermit.


The good part of the day was this:






We made a freezing, blizzard, windy day a great one! One of the few days I have gotten off this year and it felt great! I got a lot accomplished around the house and we were warm and safe at home. Loved having a SNOW DAY!
