2/8/13: There is a "historic" blizzard upon us and there has been a lot of hoopla leading up to it. Schools were closed today so we didn't have S&Z's Friday morning sports class, there was a state of emergency called which kept all state workers home, the MBTA shut down at 3:30 (I can only recall one other time this has happened since I moved here in 2005), and the Governor ordered all cars to be off the roads by 4pm.
We avoided the rush on stores last night and waited until this morning to go out to get a few provisions (extra-added bonus: we got out of the house before hunkering down for the next 24-36 hours!). We left at 10am and it had just started snowing. S&Z had fun trying to catch snowflakes on their tongues.
BJ's was slowing down by the time we got there - I'm really glad we didn't brave the crowds yesterday! New Englanders don't deal with true blizzards at the same frequency that North Dakotans do, so I've been pretty chill through this whole thing.
Derek works tonight and tomorrow night. Thankfully EMS made arrangements for employees to park at neighboring parking garages so he won't have to deal with cleaning his car off in blizzard conditions. He will, however, have to deal with getting home. This is how our street looked at 9pm, and he's still got at least 2.5 hours before he gets relieved.
Needless to say, I'll be waiting up until he is home safely tonight.
Zoe really hates storms so she was curious to see how things were looking outside after she woke up from her nap.
I made Red Lentil Stew in the crockpot, along with brown rice for dinner. What a comforting meal on a blizzardy night.
For sure we'll be home all day tomorrow. I think we'll watch "Finding Nemo" again...
