Sympathy like. We're getting 5-8 inches. Not a ton, but this is Maryland, so we'll shut down.

We were down in Bowie for a cheer competition on Saturday and trees had beautiful white flowers on them. The willows were starting to bloom. I live an hour and a half outside DC and our daffodils are starting to come up. Who would think that a massive storm was coming?

My Dad a contractor who had a slower time in Spring before commercial build season ramped up took a break each spring. He pulled us from school every spring for around a month or so, took all our books and we'd take a break at the heat of the day and do all our school work. We always came back ahead of the class, we kept up.

Nowadays if you took your kids out of school for a month you would be in jail. Sad.

Is it sad that I don't even know what a Water Moccasin is?

I heard of them before, but didn't know what they looked like. Had to look that up.

Sympathy like, we just got moved to 18-24

Isn't it strange that with this massive storm coming The Weather Channel only played How Planes Crash and some show about weather disasters yesterday? Had to wait until 9PM to get some update on the storm, and even then they didn't show potential different tracks. Except, EXCEPT, one of their guys said a similar scenario played out in 2013, and where DC was supposed to get loads of snow they ended up with rain. We are 8-12 in still, but up where my DH works, it might be up to 24. He is not happy.

Can your dh take tomorrow off?

He owns his own business so any time he cannot work means a no production day and it screws up his schedule and makes him unhappy. This seemed to be the first winter in the last 3 years that he hasn't had to close once. And people wonder why March is the least liked month of the year. Teases us with budding trees and smells of spring and then BOOM! It was a false sense of winter being over. Just plain cruel.

sympathy like but if it's as bad as it now looks please make him shut down. He won't get much done and will risk his life and others.

Oh he will shut down for sure but he is not a happy camper.

Just remind him better an unhappy camper than a dead camper

My weekend went well. Got to go Squatchin' on Saturday. No activity, but lots of coyotes. Sunday was alright. Had two job interviews. Both at grocery stores.

My little kitty Oliver looking out the window at the beautiful blue sky. To think this time tomorrow there will potentially be 6 inches on the ground with more to come is just depressing.

Good luck

Good luck

Thanks. Both jobs sound like they're interested in me, and the squatchin feels like I'll get a hit soon.

I heard of them before, but didn't know what they looked like. Had to look that up.

It's simple... they look like a snake and it's swimming in the water. I often wonder if they are called something different when they are out of the water. I guess all snakes have the ability to swim to some extent. Maybe they are like the Presidents plane. It goes by it's tail number until the President is aboard and then it becomes Air Force One.

So on land they are just called Moccasins.

Or perhaps, Out of water Moccasins! They are very quiet on how they wish to be referred. Otherwise, every time the came out of the water they become comfortable footwear!

Thanks for the laugh!!
