The weather this weekend hovered in the lower 50s at time during the day. Most of the snow in the yard melted and we took down the Christmas tree and decorations around the yard.
Today, it is snowing and the roads are treacherous. I was supposed to be at a customer appointment by 10am. By 9:30am I was only about half way there after being on the road for nearly 2 hours. I turned around and went back home. I count myself lucky to have made it without mishap as a number of cars and trucks were off the road. I also saw a number of fender-bender type accidents along the way too.
Of course, the princesses are home from school and Beautiful Wife is awake too. Now I'm sitting at my desk listening to music on my iPod so that they can watch TV while I'm working.
I did manage to put the insulating plastic wrap stuff on all of the downstairs windows. We have baseboard heating that runs along the outside wall so anything to keep that heat inside instead of rising and going out a window will be a plus.

Shovelling. SNOW. is. NOT. FUN!!" I could only laugh and say, "I know!"

Mama - Some lessons are best learned early in life. ;)
Antipo - Thanks! We could have used it yesterday!
