Snowpocalypse Pax

North Carolina and snow do not mix. This area was a mess on Wednesday. Thankfully, Daren and I had the good sense to leave work early before the traffic headaches began. Friends and coworkers spent hours in the car not moving and others even had to abandon their vehicles. Our neighbor walked home from UNC hospital and made better time on foot. He finished the 15 mile trek in three hours while the kind soul who offered him a ride (less than a mile from home) said she left two hours earlier than he did. Snowpocalypse!!!!

Oh, and the UNC v Duke basketball game is postponed until next week Thursday. I guess the bus couldn't make it to Duke's campus to pick up the team. Sounds sheisty to me. Maybe Duke was scared at the possibility of the stands being comprised of rowdy college kids since no one else would have been able to make it to the game. Willa's UNC outfit didn't last the day at daycare. Apparently she "spit up" at lunch and needed to be changed.

UNC classes and offices were closed on Thursday and Daren worked from home. We had some quality family time inside and outside. Also, we got our workout shoveling snow. Not sure Daren wore approved attire while shoveling. I snapped a picture of him out in the morning on Thursday wearing his pajama pants and a t-shirt. Willa and I took a few spins in the sled. Maybe the four layers of clothing was impeding Willa's ability to smile.

UNC was closed again on Friday which was a big shock. I took advantage of getting some cleaning done by bringing Willa to daycare. I think Willa's books stayed neatly on the bookcase for the first five minutes after we brought her home. This child is a hurricane.

We know snow won't last long because the seven day weather forecast is calling for temps in the 60's - 70's. Is that you spring?
