    I still have a dream, a dream deeply rooted in the American dream – one day this nation will rise up and live up to its creed, ‘We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men are created equal.’ I have a dream . . .

    Arctic Cold Moving into Central and Eastern U.S. with Heavy Snow for Mid-Atlantic and Northeast

    A strong cold front will dive southward from the Plains and Midwest on Monday to the East Coast and Southeast on Tuesday. Bitter wind chills to 40 degrees below zero will impact the Upper Midwest. At the leading edge of the cold air, a winter storm is forecast to develop on Tuesday that will impact the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Coast with snow and blowing snow.

    My hubby and granddaughter saw Nut Job together and when I went to pick them up they wanted to see another movie, so we all went to Frozen.

    Snow starting here tomorrow morning, 8AM.
    It is dialysis day so of course the weather will be bad.

    I think because of that event mostly awarding food (Parents club winterfest floater) that they have not coded it into the prize popup at log in so that we won’t know that we didn’t get anything good… again.

    apparently a school system to the north had to shut down early though because it was coming in seriously … i got hit with three or four pieces of sleet – that’s it – end of winter weather 2014

    We are home safe and sound. It has been snowy and snowy and the worst is yet to come.

    News said my granddaughter had no school, but now she is getting e-mails from friends that say it was a half day. Teacher has assigned new homework, but all the kids that stayed home don’t have the books needed.

    MomsK – you got hit by sleet?

    Dee – You can add me to the list of guinea pigs for your cookie business. I will make the sacrifice too.
