What we did while we were snowed in...

..put on bathing suits and mopped the kitchen floor, of course.

There was a foot or so of snow at our place when we woke up Wednesday morning and we couldn't go anywhere. Mike tried to get to work, but got stuck in the driveway so he got to stay home with us for the day. Schools were closed for Wednesday and Friday and it wasn't until Thursday evening that our neighborhood was plowed. We enjoyed the coziness of the day and didn't have time in those short 24 hours to get cabin fever. (By Thursday morning, we were easily leaving our driveway although I am still turning my minivan around in the driveway so that I can pull out straight/forward into the road because today, when they plowed again, they left a ridge probably 18 inches high across the bottom of our driveway. That was a long sentence.)

Food storage is a good thing. Visiting teaching and home teaching phone trees are also good things. (Really this wasn't a big emergency, but it did show us that we'll be OK if we have to hunker down at home for a while.)
