Wednesday there were a lot of closings because of the snow and cold.  
Wasn't that bad here but a few miles north really got hit.  Thursday the
'city' schools were opening at the usual time but the 'country' schools 
were doing either the 2 hour late or closed all day thing.  

This morning (Saturday) we're supposed to get an inch or two more snow. 
Then we start having a different sort of fun: temperatures barely hit 
the single digits for actual air temperature and 20-below for the feels-
like -- Sunday through Thursday, maybe Friday.  Water bill goes up: we 
have to drip water in the upstairs bathroom else the pipes freeze.
