Ice days

If you are a kid in the Midwest school closures are the schizzle. And even teenagers get super disappointed if there are no so-called snow days during the winter. This morning we had an “ice day”

The weather is mild today but yesterday the icy rain was falling to an extent where you could literally hear the drops of ice hit the ground and glaze everything. All the cars are covered in a thick layer, the snow looks like it had been candied and the sidewalks look just fine........ but they are NOT! And I am honestly quite happy that it so happens that we can all stay home today. Kristian already planned for working from home and I don’t have anything that requires my physical presence at the university either, so home day it is. Teresa already got told that school is cancelled and she happily turned to the other side and went back to sleep. We haven’t told Luca yet as that kid is just not capable of going back to sleep after being woken up early in the morning (he was a tough cookie as a toddler......). And I guess we’ll do some sort of raffle this morning to see who gets to walk the dog
