It started snowing here @ 5am and schools have a 2-hour delayed opening. Steve drove in at regular time and called back to say "Don't do what I just did," Seems the roads are really icy and cars were sliding all over the place. Hills are impossible. I'm sitting here reading the paper and working on my 3rd cup of coffee. School can wait.
It's coming down pretty hard now but is supposed stop in an hour or two. At least I can watch last night's Sleepy Hollow. I recorded it so I could catch up on Revenge.
So Moony, I'm reading some articles about the roads and school snafu's this morning. Doesn't the DPW get their salt trucks out, if not ahead of time, at least when snow starts??
I hung out with Cheyenne Jackson in his dressing room waayyyyyy before he tickled D2."unleash the girly"
Our fingerprints don't fade from the lives we touch.
Some do, some don't. Remember - we have multiple jurisdictions here, so it's county by county , within two states and the District. The big problem today was the erroneous forecast. We were supped to get 1-2 inches of dry powder, which could be "swept" away instead of using (and wasting) chemicals. Instead we got 4-5 inches of wet, heavy stuff that frozen into an icy cover on the roads. Surprise! The counties that didn't close - or even have a 2-hour delay - really made a stupid decision.
Anyway, the snow has ended here, except for flurries. The front yard has 4 1/2 inches. I'm venturing out in about an hour.
Back to normal SoCal weather here. Sunny and 70's.
That did not matter this morning this morning though when I slept through my alarm and had 20 minutes to get out the door to make it for my early meeting.
Howdy is an informal greeting, commonly thought to have originated as a shortened form of the greeting "How do you do?". It was first recorded as part of the Southern U.S. dialect in 1840. Literature from that period includes the use of "How-do, how-do" as a greeting used by Native Americans when addressing Anglo settlers in greeting. The double form of the idiom is still found in parts of Texas as "Howdy, howdy". Without regard to etymological beginnings, the word is used as a greeting such as "Hello" and not, normally, as an enquiry. Howdy is ideally not followed by a question mark, but may be followed by an exclamation mark.
It is typically associated with Southern American English, especially from Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and the northern parts of Louisiana and Florida where the Southern dialect is predominant. It is the official greeting of Texas A&M University. It is also the name of the popular web portal at Texas A&M University.

Most schools are closed for cold! It was 1 degree today = no school. Yesterday -3 and there was school! C16 was thrilled. One boyfriend goes back today! Love them all, but small house - many people grumpier dad!
Howdy was popular on Hee Haw! Howdy Doody was probably a pervert!
