The good news is that we knew before hand. So, both husband and I knew that our places of work were going to be closed, Michael's school called for its closing the night before...so, we had everything in place.
Got up with the kids saying "Morning!" at 7 a.m. I did my normal morning exercise, then went down and started slow-cooker chili for dinner (YUM!). Made eggs and hung out and looked at the snow coming down.
Around 9 a.m. there was a doorbell ring--and there was one of our neighbor kids, coming over to ask if Michael wanted to go out...
I took the opportunity to take some pictures of the snow...
Willow wanted to go out, but I was just not in the mood to get her all dressed up and into this much snow--especially since last storm (which was only 2 weeks ago) we did all that fun stuff. So, instead, I scooped up some snow in a pan--and let her have at it...
Toys On Ice...
Snow did not really stop until after noon--and then the shoveling began. It was a lot and lot and it was HEAVY wet snow...
For lunch we all had some oven cooked mac n cheese and we watched a Futurama movie...and then back out to shoveling...
It was nice to smell the chili throughout the day, and after we got done shoveling we came in and had the chili and cornbread.
Tomorrow--another snow day as Michael's school is again closed. Its just going to be me and the boy, I think.

WOW! That's a lot of snow!!! How smart of you to bring some snow inside for W to play with.
Enjoy your snow day tomorrow! And just for a laugh, we got 3 inches here on Monday and schools have been closed for four days! :)
