Things I Was Going to Do Today

I'm about to find out if Edinburgh shuts down in the snow like Atlanta does.  There's already enough to cancel Cobb County schools for at least three days.


I've been up for about an hour, but just noticed as it was becoming light outside that it was snowing ..... sideways.  The wind was absolutely howling last night at bed time, but seems to be lessening.


Two minutes ago it was coming down thick and steady, now it has completely stopped and I can see some breaks in the clouds.  I don't know if it might snow all day.  


Like a five year old I had to wake up Daryl to tell him it's snowing and then go take a few pictures in the thin early morning light.


I'm terrible getting photos where I want them in a blog post, but here are a few.  Back of the house, view from the front, view from our bedroom window of our street, a few shots of the back garden.

Today I am/was going to the letting agency sign the lease for the house and pick up a spare set of keys and then go on to one of the uniform outfitters to get the girls situated for school.   We just missed the most recent used uniform store at school, but they open it twice a month, so maybe we can pick up a few things in a few weeks (not sure how much will be available mid-term, mid-year!)  If it just stays wet & slushy we'll be fine, but if the sideways snow starts again, we're staying in and eating junk food and watching TV all day!
