Why bother? Most of Chardon is closed today so I’ve decided to give myself a Saturday and Sunday off. When they start closing the libraries you know its very bad. I’m watching Channel 5’s continuing coverage now while snarfing down coffee and bakery. One look outside and I know I don’t want to go out there. I’ll putter around the house and blog today so check back if you really care what I think about anything because I’ll be catching up on a lot of stuff I didn’t write about.

The boy in the hospital is doing fine - his mom is with him today and they’ll just watch the snow fall.

The older boy is in Columbus at OSU where they have canceled all classes today due to being under a blizzard warning.

They’re even saying we could have some donnerschneit (thunder snow) later today. It’s been a long time since I’ve experienced that so that would be fun if it happens.
