Stuck at Home

We are stuck in the house today due to some amazingly bad weather. I did step outside a couple hours ago to spread ice melt on the steps up to our front door; I don't want the mail carrier to slip and fall when he delivers the mail today. Prior to spreading the ice melt though, there was about a quarter inch of ice on the steps. It looks like our dinner plans with Bill are cancelled. I'm just glad that this weather is happening on the weekend. That allowed me to sleep in after being rudely awoken around 4:30 this morning by an alarm on the weather alert radio. I was so grateful though to be alerted to the fact that we are under a blizzard warning. It made me feel much safer as I went back to sleep. :)
