Winter Storm Advisory

It began snowing around 11:30am.    The expressway was clear so I had no trouble driving to work.  Throughout the afternoon, I listened to traffic reports. Many accidents due to the snowy driving conditions and an advisory to stay home as 3-6 inches of snow is expected.  I left work around 6pm, scraped the ice and snow off the car.  I decided to drive through the city...more people around if I got into trouble.  It looked like folks had heeded the advice and stayed home, because traffic was light.  I arrived home to see my husband snowblowing the driveway and sidewalks.  The dogs wanted  to go outside so I let them out.  A few minutes later, my son asked, "Isn't that Maui?"  The gate had been left open, and Maui, the mini dachsund, romped down the driveway and raced up the front sidewalk into the house.    It is so comfy to sit at home while the snow turns the city into a winter wonderland.
