Snow in STL

We woke up to snow this morning...yippee.  No pictures yet, but maybe later.  The ConMan started asking early when he could go slide down the hill on his tummy.  Maybe after school.  Yep, school is on. 

 I'm all for snow, but only if I can hunker down and stay at home.  Having to head out and deal with messy roads, freaked out drivers, and the cold just doesn't appeal to me.  As I was listening to KMOX, one of the morning hosts said "There's going to be a lot of grumpy people at work today." Probably true.

This is a big difference between DC and STL.  Had this snow hit in DC, the government, local schools, etc, would have started calling snow days and late starts last night, long before the first snowflakes began to fall.  Here in STL, the boys school is open, and people are moving about trying to get to work.  It's definitely a mess--there were two stalled cars just outside of my neighborhood this morning mucking up traffic--but life is going on.

Note to self...must get the pilot light on the fireplace lit.  It's looking like a good night to get a fire going.  Finally.
