rivkaHoly crap! They've been predicting a snowstorm for a few days now, but now the NWS prediction is for 10 to 20 inches of snow. In Maryland. Starting tonight.
The city is going to completely and utterly grind to a halt. Baltimore is not at all capable of dealing with a snowstorm like that.
I fear for my Christmas pageant! There's no way that the kids are going to make it to church Sunday morning.
Also, we have now slipped from "good luck trying to get anyone at work to get anything done early next week" to "there isn't a chance in hell that anyone at work is going to even be there to get anything done early next week."
At least I have finished my Christmas shopping and gotten packages into the mail, and we have food in the refrigerator. And Alex is going to be in seventh freaking heaven. The past two years have only ever seen a dusting of winter snow in Baltimore. Four years old and almost two feet of snow at Christmas!

Date: 2009-12-18 06:55 pm (UTC)Full refrigerator is good. I also like having emergency movies that stay shrink-wrapped so that I have fresh entertainment when I'm housebound. That probably goes triple for kids. In a pinch, maybe Alex could get one of her presents early??
Regarding the Christmas pageant, embrace the concept of Christmastide. It will be just as magical a week late if need be. Heck, the Magi themselves were almost two weeks late.
