When It Rains, It Pours!

Well, there are now 16 inches of snow on the ground, and there are no indications that it is stopping any time soon. We’ve been snowed in since this morning, which really disappointed me, since I haven’t done my Christmas shopping yet. The snow is finally supposed to stop tomorrow at noon. By that time, the weather folks are predicting a grand total of 24 inches. The county I am in (Franklin County, Indiana) has actually been hit the worst of any county in the Cincinnati area, which caused the powers that be to declare a level 2 snow emergency here earlier today (translation: don’t leave your house!)

I am pretty bored here, and it’s compounded by the fact that I haven’t been able to get out of the house. I am here with my parents, my aunt, and my uncle. My cousins are 20 miles away with my grandparents; we were supposed to see them tonight, but that was called off. Boredom has translated into my mother and I picking fights with each other, which isn’t a very pleasant experience.

Apparently we have decided that we’re going sledding as a family tomorrow (well, hey, there isn’t anything else to do.) My dad plowed the driveway today with the plow on the front of his Jeep and got the Jeep stuck somewhere in the driveway. It took 3 people to pull it out and get it unstuck.

Anyway, I have a bit of work to do tonight, so I should probably stop blogging about the snow. I’ll try to post some pictures tomorrow.
