today's surprise

Well the weatherman didn't see it coming  ( again) but we woke to find about 5 inches of snow. Temps were high enough to get things melting after the schools were all closed ! Earlier things were slick  so the buses would have had problems off of the bigger roads - the ones where all the kids need to be picked up LOL.

Bob went out and shoveled ... twice... so that I could get out and off to our local hospital for a nuclear stress test and a carotid artery sonogram.  I had been instructed not to take my blood pressure pills or caffeine for 24 hours before the tests ... so after the tests I felt really whipped .  Food, a pill and some hot cider really helped!

Now to wait for the results...

Everyone in the KC area is really excited that our football team ( the KC Chiefs) will be going to the superbowl in Miami next month. Since none of the schools were open today, the weatherman showed pictures of snowmen honoring our quarterback Patrick Mahomes . Kept the out of school kids busy!

Tonight the temperatures are going below freezing so all the melted snow water under what's left of the snow will freeze. Luckily it's Saturday so no school. Things will be icey early!!

Uh oh.. We have a trip planned. Darn! I really like to avoid traveling in winter. I hope the plane’s wings don’t ice up. Please try to stay warm and be careful when shoveling snow.

That ice is the worst! Hope your test results are good.
