I Hope…

     Not to be confused with,  "heigh ho, heigh ho, it’s off to work I go." Even though I am technically off to work this morning, if you consider running down the stairs going to work.  I know, it’s a short commute but it makes up for the days I have to drive to town for other things.  Anyway, It’s I hope…

     I hope the short term weather forecast and the radar are both wrong.  Normally I don’t mind a winter storm and a big dumping of snow but I also don’t normally have 4 extra kids staying with me.  Chance, Dawson, Easton and Bailey, some of you know them from this summer, are here for a couple of nights.  It’s really not much work because besides Easton they are all at school until 4:30 and in bed by 8:00PM.

     When I read the short term forecast and it called for a ton of snow to dump by 9:00AM this morning I started to get nervous.  What if they let school out early?  What if they have a snow day tomorrow?  What am I going to do all day long with 5 kids ages 9 and under in this house!  I hope the forecast is wrong…

SNOW WILL INCREASE RAPIDLY THROUGH 9 AM ACROSS ALL OF NORTHEAST
MINNESOTA AND MUCH OF NORTHWEST WISCONSIN. IN ADDITION…STRONG
AND GUSTY WINDS MAY DROP VISIBILITIES TO ONE HALF MILE AT TIMES
IN THE HEAVIEST SNOW BANDS. IF TRAVELING THIS MORNING…BE
PREPARED TO SLOW DOWN AND ALLOW SOME EXTRA TIME TO REACH YOUR
DESTINATION SAFELY
