Extension on Life

Snow days are precious in the south. Any mention of snow sends the majority of the local population in a tizzy searching for bread, milk, and eggs. Everyone spends their lunch glued to weather updates and giving their predictions as to whether or not it will actually snow.

A couple of weeks ago, we got a decent snowstorm in Knoxville. The NWS thought the storm would hit in the middle of the day, so they canceled school early and I spent the day glued to the TV watching my favorite "test pattern" (aka the Weather Channel) give updates. The storm ended up hitting later in the day, but by morning we had a blanket of 6 beautiful inches of snow. The University let out (a rare treat!), so Miles and I got to spend the day playing in the snow and binge watching TV.

Of course, 6 inches of snow means the city shuts down for at least two days, so I spent all of Friday relaxing, too. Yep, so that means I got not one, not two, but three days off for 6 inches of snow. And it was wonderful!
