Good morning, HotD!

Gracious, Corin!! Sure glad your mom is ok!

Way to Go, Nano writers! Really, that is a sweet typewriter, Rosie! Love stuff like that. What's a Luddite, Precious?

Steve got home last night after an hour and a half...usually takes him about 25 minute at the most. It's hard to tell how much snow we actually got, it's so wind-blown. The snow fell sideways last night...it was amazing to watch. The wind just howled.

I'm guessing around 8".

Steve made it to work today without any trouble...the jedis have already played in it and are now doing there school. No "Snow Days" for homeschoolers! LOL!

What's a Luddite, Precious?
Member of organized groups of early 19th-century English craftsmen who surreptitiously destroyed the textile machinery that was replacing them. The movement began in Nottingham in 1811 and spread to other areas in 1812. The Luddites, or “Ludds,” were named after a probably mythical leader, Ned Ludd. They operated at night and often enjoyed local support. Harsh repressive measures by the government included a mass trial at York in 1813 that resulted in many hangings and banishments. The term Luddite was later used to describe anyone opposed to technological change.

Ture that, but they get their work done so quickly, they don't miss any of that great snow fun!
