The Blizzard that wasn't

There has been blizzard warnings in our county for 2 days now. The TV and radio stations have been saying how bad everything is out there. Other than the kids staying home and going nuts because they had to stay inside all day it didn't seem to bad. The buses don't run in this weather because they don't have very good heaters for the kids and some kids ride upto an hour and a half one way. We still have power and heat and it's only about -27 as I'm writing this. We have had much worse weather with alot less warning. Luckily I didn't need to go anywhere. Shawn's work was cancelled tomorrow because of windchill warnings. He is going to spend the night in town and drive home in the daylight. Thank goodness I worry so much when he needs to drive home from work when it's so dark. There isn't a street light within 40km. of us. The good news is that for once I was organized enough to have new winter tires on both vehicles before the first snow. Well lets hope this is the last bad winter storm.

It's really not that bad it's only a 45 minute drive to the West Edmonton Mall Waterpark. You have to pay by driving a bit in order to have no neighbors within a 1/4 mile. There is no way that I'd ever live in a city again.
