Snow day?

As I type it's about 30 degrees here in our little corner of Germany and snowing. Not heavy snowfall mind you, just some snow. Mr. M's boss called him earlier to advise him that they are likely to be told to stay home tomorrow because of the snow conditions as we are expecting 4-6" overnight. What??? This may seem reasonable to some, but to us it is downright strange and pretty funny. This is in light of the fact that last winter in beautiful Spokane, Washington we got over 9 feet of snow throughout the season, sometimes as much as 10" in a single day. With all that snow there was only one partial day that they were told to go home, when the plows finally could not get out to the road they were on. AND that is the only "snow day" my hubby and his co-workers had in the seven years we were there- they average 50-60" annually. What a change.

But I have to admit we are all a little excited about the prospect of him getting an extra day home with the family, so here's hoping.
