We awoke to Leap Day with a Winter Wonderland look outside our windows this morning. Tough going for drivers, despite the beauty of it all, though. News stations reporting 73 crashes this morning and 139 vehicles off the roads. We started off last evening with rain, then ice pellets, then ice, and finally snow. We got anywhere from 4 to 7.5 inches of the white fluff out here in our area. I was getting ready to head out the door at 8:30 a.m. when DH called and told me not to leave the house if I didn't have to....it took him 50 minutes to get to work, in what otherwise would have been a 20 minute drive at the most. I called my friend who I share an hour of time with on Wed mornings and she was already out and about and warned me to stay put. The roads ARE bad. So here I sit LOL.
One baby reported having been born on this Leap Year Day here in Minneapolis. Wonder when the birthday celebrations of the off years will be for that little. I have one friend whose grandbaby was a Leap Year babe. She is 12 years old today -- hope she is celebrating specially today.
Well stay cozy and have a great day!! I am going to curl up with a hot cup of caffee and do some knitting, hopefully, with a missed episode of 'Apprentice' playing in the background!
