For the first time in probably ten years, our site had a snow day! Yeeha!
First, we had a delayed opening until 10 AM, and I sadly put on my hat and coat and got in the car so husband could drive me to work. (He always has snow days when there's one flake of snow... so nice to work for a nonprofit!!) He was very sympathetic, saying that it felt like he was taking me to the executioner. We got to work, which is only about 5 min away, and a woman out in front of the building who was cleaning snow off her car said that the message had just been changed to state that only essential personnel needed to be in. And I'm non-essential! I let out a whoop you could hear all across the parking lot, and husband took me home, and there was great rejoicing.
We stopped at the market on the way home, and when I got back in the car, I saw a perfect little six-sided snow star sitting on my coat sleeve. It was like a tiny bit of candy. So, the first thing I've done with my snow day was to grab my loupe and my Field Guide to Snowflakes and take a look at what was falling. I found stellar plates, branched stellar plates, and dendrites, many of which were covered with rime. So pretty! Now it's time to turn the heat up and maybe do a little quilting.
