Brett never believes any weather prediction, but even this time he had to admit that they got it correct. The snow started early this morning and is still going strong tonight. School was called off for tomorrow at 2:15 this afternoon along with almost every other school in the area. Doug and the management at Renegade RV decided to close as well tomorrow. By tonight most other businesses were also closed and several counties were in a state of emergency. We have been running the fireplace all day, so if the power would go out we have a way to heat at least one room.
LaMarr was scheduled to fly in today. None of us thought he would make it, but he got to Detroit and was the last plane in to Fort Wayne before they closed the airport. He and his friend, Bernstein, rented a SUV and made it to Syracuse in about two hours. Cal, Doug and Cam went down to Mom's to help shovel them out. Thus, they were able to come up and bring Parce. Vicky's birthday was today and they made it over as well. We all had a great time visiting and catching up. Meg was disappointed that Ann Frances didn't make the trip.
Everyone left here about 8 p.m. Cal, Meg and Cam decided to spend the night at Grandma Jane's. With a quiet house Brett, Doug and I watched a movie we had been wanting to catch - The Big Lebowski. The guys loved it. I thought it was perfect for them - action and comedy. So the storm that was predicted came to fruition and so far so good. I am going to go fill the tub with water before I go to bed, just in case we do lose power. The wind is supposed to pick up and with a high temperature of only -6 predicted for Tuesday, we may still be home then.
