But here is the way the week went.......
Sunday.....no chance of snow.
Monday ....chance of 1-3 inches of snow.
Tuesday.....1/4 inch ice and up to 6 inches of snow starting early morning.
Schools closed and everyone waited......and waited ..........and waited. Some sleet started to fall around 4:00 PM.....a little later than predicted. No snow......waiting and waiting. Finally at 9:00 PM, about 12 hours later than predicted it happened.......SNOW!!!!!!
It was very pretty and came down very hard. By the next morning, we had 3-4 inches of the white stuff with some frozen sleet underneath it. Schools were closed again. My office had a delayed opening until 1:00. I worked from home.
The surprising thing was that the snow stayed for more than a few hours. In fact the last of it melted off my roof yesterday.....it is so unusual to have snow around for more than 24 hours......it was a treat!!
Being a "northerner" it is still funny to me to see how people react to the snow word. Yes, the supermarkets get busy with a rush for milk and bread. My Dad used to joke and say to my Mom "Irene do you have all the provisions in?" He knew Mom would be at Shoprite getting bread and milk.......as if we would be trapped for days. OK I have to admit I asked Jenn to get milk and batteries.....just in case......old habits die hard!!!!
Well we have had our snow event for the year....is it summer yet??????
Next S event.....the Super Bowl.
Football is my favorite sport!!!! I can scream and yell with the best of them. Of course, I wish the NY Giants were in it every year but since they are not I am pulling for the Bronco's....for two reasons.....Eli's big brother and I have a slew of family in Colorado that love their team. It's only about 200 days until football starts again and I will occupy myself with baseball (both college ...USC..... and the Yankees for course!!!)....I even watched a college basketball game last night.....great game between Syracuse and Duke!! But football is my sports passion......I hate for the season to end but we all know how fast it will be until training camp starts again in the summer.
At about 6:00 tonight, everything in my house will come to a halt so I can watch what I hope will be a great game and maybe some good commercials!!! GO BRONCO'S!!!!!!
One last note.......while not focusing too much on numbers it does feel good that I was down again at the scale this morning........so some of the things I am doing: eating when hungry, not having to make family dinners (every man for himself here), trying to give myself more choices, getting my hour of jogging in at the gym and something new I am trying......I am going to give it a few more weeks and see how it goes before I say anything.......but lets just say consistent weight loss......sleeping better .......and feeling good are all part of it. Stay tuned for the information.......if the numbers continue to go down......
OK so here is a photo that represents both of the "S"'s for this week.....
See you next week.......
