Winter again

On December 30, I said that winter must be over. I should have known better. Last Saturday, it snowed. We had about 8 inches by afternoon. Ben came to pick up Joel from college. Joel had been here for a week taking an intensive class during the winter break. It ended on Friday and Ben was picking up Joel. We talked Ben into staying in Salem for the weekend and so they came over Saturday night for pizza and games.

We had snow every day this week, I think, but we didn't get out of school for the snow (why did the 8 inches come on Saturday?). Thursday we had a two-hour delay and Friday we cancelled school because of the cold. It wasn't as bad as it was farther west, but we still recorded temperatures of -10F or so, so it was cold. I was fighting a sore throat so I took Nyquil and slept most of Friday.

Now it has warmed up, but it started snowing again. I think this is one of the snowiest January's since we moved to Salem.

Another Ice Age is coming! Better get ready.
