Snow Day
Posted By pamelamyers on February 9, 2017
Sam had her first snow day of the school year today! We were supposed to get around 8 inches of snow, and unfortunately, the heaviest part was to fall right at morning rush hour between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. So much for school. I knew it would be cancelled and had planned ahead about how I could get work done at home. My bigger concern was that Mark was away in California on a business trip and coming home on a red eye flight arriving at – yup – 7:00 a.m. So, his flight was cancelled. He and I were on the phone for a while last night until we figured out how the heck he was getting back! Thankfully, a few flights later, he made it home. When Sam woke up early this morning and I told her school was cancelled, she was less concerned with school and more worried about seeing her Dad. She missed him so much while he was gone. I told her his flight was cancelled and she was crushed! She was relieved when I told her he was coming, just later in the day. We watched his flight on a flight tracker app and that made her feel better. Whenever he flies, she always likes to see where he is.
We were all glad Mark finally made it home, especially Mark. Boy was he exhausted. And to make it all worse, our big snow turned out to be a big nothing. Oh, it snowed, but we got a few inches tops. All day the weather people kept adjusting our snow totals down. His flight never should have been cancelled. When it should have landed, we had maybe an inch of snow on the ground. Stupid airlines!
