The snow finally began to melt apace. The field behind the house is still a plain of white, but on the hill the grass is beginning at last to reappear from beneath the snow. In spots, it still measures a couple of inches. Friday, we finally saw the temperature rise above freezing, and today it is a pleasant 46 degrees (with a chance of freezing rain in the early morning, of course).
The boys made a wonderful time of it all, being held out of school for the entire week. The roads were iffy through Wednesday, but improved in the days afterward. However, the school parking lots and several neighborhoods were still subject to ice, which (for North Alabama) causes safety issues. So after 4 days back at school following the holidays, the return to routine suffered a serious blow. What's more, school is out again tomorrow for MLK. I suffered a bout of cabin fever, and slid my way into work on Thursday and Friday. I still feel quite out of sorts, and long for our typically crazy, but predictable schedule.
Tuesday, with any luck, we will reboot the routine and get this year on track.
