I think we are finally past the ice storm. School has been canceled the last two days and my Internet connection was down for a day as well.
We are now going to school until January 9th. The long range forecast calls for a bunch of snow in February. It has been a big mess of a Winter and we aren't even close to being done.
Jess has a game at Ballard tonight. Our chances of winning are very, very slim but hope springs eternal, right?
Not much for plans this weekend. Drew has a game Saturday and I have to go into work for a bit that morning to setup some technology for a wrestling tournament.
In retrospect, it was kind of a cool week. I didn't have to teach class at all and we have a couple days off from school.
The ice was bad so Nancy and I walked over to the school. We had to climb snow drifts that were covered with a layer of ice. I wish I had a video of us going across, it had to be hilarious to watch.
I just got the call that we have a two hour delay today so the kids get to sleep in.
Ok, off to start.

It is an icy wonderland...
The weather is a bit interesting this morning. It is kind of rain but so close to ice that when it hits the ground it becomes ice. Not hail at all, kind of rain with ice crystals in it and it just freezes the second it hits the ground. It is very, very icy out and they have canceled school for today.
I hope they cancel my DMACC classes tonight. I really don't want to have to drive on icy roads. Even if it gets warm enough to not be icy before class, I would imagine at 10:00 at night, it will get cold and freeze all of the wet on the roads. The trip back could be unpleasant.
Jess had a game last night and they lost. She scored 14 but the guards were shooting a bunch and can't hit the broad side of a barn. We will lose every game we have left if we keep trying to win by shooting outside. It is the coaches fault.
Drew was supposed to have practice this morning but he gets to sleep in because of school being canceled. I wouldn't be surprised if we have a late start tomorrow.
I had a meeting and lunch with the superintendent yesteray. I thought it would be awkward just the two of us but it turned out to be pretty good. It was a nice talk and I am glad I did it.
Not a whole lot on the agenda today. I have some office work and think I might swap out one of my desktop computers to put a Windows 7 machine in. The trick is going to be getting to work. I think it might be best to walk over. Nancy and I will have to help each other so we don't wipe out on the ice.
I heard yesterday that there is a prediction for 20 more inches of snow in February. UGH!
