Baby, It's Cold Outside...

When my alarm went off this morning, all I could hear was wind. When I saw a snow drift!!!! at the patio door, I knew there was no way I was sending my child off to school... open or not. I'm so thankful I did not as kids were off to school (in temperatures around -15 before windchill is factored in) only to be sent home a couple of hours later. Now, I'm not an administrator but I do know that the only thing that pisses parents off more than a snow day is treking through white out conditions to get your kid to school only to be called to come back before lunch. But, again, I'm no administrator...

Oh... and I am thankful for fleece sheets... so cozy!

I also give thanks for the paramedic today for quickly becoming the favourite parent at our house... spending 31:53 minutes outside today with my kid in temperatures below -20... just because they could.
