Silly Southerners

As I told someone earlier, the meteorologists here are somehow even more inaccurate than the ones in the North.  This past Friday they predicted 4 inches of snow, and we got none, but that didn't stop stores and schools to close due to the 'prediction'. Yesterday they predicted upwards of a foot of snow, and we got none.  We did get a very small layer of ice, and as the people here have never heard of salt or sand, all of NC is in a state of emergency (although I understand that cities other than ours actually did get some snow).

So, I'm stuck in the house.  I was going to take Jeanne to BnN this morning to go play, but after scraping off our car, and seeing that the roads were still untouched by salt or sand, it really in-navigable around here.  That includes our apartments complex, they too have never heard of salt or sand, so trying to get the mail scared Jeanne.  I thought she would think it fun to slide all around, but no go.

So far we've played with our cookie cutters and sorted by color and objects she could name, we played with mega blocks and legos, we've played with puzzles, and at this point (12:40 p.m.) we're both terribly bored, and she's starting to act up.

Ug.
