This morning we woke up to the remains of an ice storm. It wasn't a surprise as it had been predicted for several days. Doug said that it was a slow drive to work with parts of county road 17 closed due to weather related issues. What started as a delay for Bethany soon turned into a cancellation. Cam and Meg were happy to be home, but said that they were tired of e-learning days. Even though it wasn't what they wanted to do, both started on their homework early and finished the majority of it before 3 p.m. which gave us some time to play Wii.
We did get a reprieve from the storm for a couple of hours. The weather warmed up enough to turn the sleet to rain. Thanks to that quite a bit of the ice melted in the afternoon. It was eerie listening to the sheets of ice slide off of the roof. I took advantage of the break to run to the grocery and to pick up lunch for Cam and Meg. My parents stopped in Bloomington last night on their way home from Florida. They used the small window of warm weather to finish their journey. They were happy to have arrived safely, but bummed to see that old man winter was still in full swing.
The snow returned tonight around the time that Cam and Meg needed to leave for tennis lessons. We decided that I would take them and Doug would pick them up. I was glad that we made that choice as it also became extremely windy. This created blowing and drifting snow making traveling even more challenging. While they were at tennis, Doug and I got a quick bite to eat at Huntington St. before he headed to Warsaw. The rest of the night was a quiet one for all with Cam watching basketball, Meg finishing some homework and Doug working on a project for Champion.
