Does McDonald's Have Snow Days?

Alas, not that I know of.  Therefore, my last day of my long weekend on my own will be spent digging out in the midst of our snowstorm so that I can drive my DS to work.  And then pick him up again this evening.  He can drive, of course, but his wee little car has not-so-good tires on it, and he's still relatively a greenhorn when it comes to dealing with bad snow combined with driving.  Not that I'm a master or anything, but it's actually less of a worry for both of us if I take him to work today.

Our county in Wisconsin is one of two that is scheduled to get the heaviest amounts of snow, which started last night, and will continue throughout the day.  They are saying we might get a total of 18 inches, maybe more, maybe less -- and there might be thundersnow at some point?  Fun!  I already shoveled once last night, and wow, was it a workout!  That was heavy stuff!  It might be lighter today, because it is colder -- but there is more of it now, so maybe not.  For now, I'll just shovel my way to the garage and get the driveway clear and worry about the rest later.  It's times like this when I wonder why we decided living on a corner with long public sidewalks in either direction was a good thing!  :-D  But I like the amount of yard it gives us, so I won't complain too much.

We have a snowblower, but it's so tiny, I'm not sure it will do anything -- but maybe I'll try getting it out and see what I can accomplish!

Anyway, here's my plan for the day:

• shovel
• drive DS to work
• try not to get stuck
• drink hot chocolate
• shovel
• pick up DS
• try not to get stuck
• drink hot chocolate
• save some shoveling for DH who will be getting home this evening after the storm has moved on

Good luck, and I hope it ends up being actually enjoyable!

I hope everyone is home safe drinking hot chocolate soon. All that kind of snow must be scary to travel in. ((((Lin)))).

You know, you make me glad I can't drive. Cleveland has been mild this winter (at least so I'm told), but I think if I lived up north and drove I'd drive myself bonkers.

Good luck!
