Before I get all the ‘Frozen Sucks!’ or ‘Not the song again!’ complaints, this was the only way to explain a blizzard to my son. All he knew was that snow was coming and thought returning from school would result in playing in said snow. The word blizzard doesn’t have the weight it does for the rest of us. So I explained it as an ‘Elsa Storm’ and he got the point. Though it also means I now have to make an Olaf with him when the weather improves.
Anyway, this post is mostly to remind people that I’m in the northeast. It’s about to get hit by what the media is calling a ‘historic’ snowfall. They’re saying 3 feet, which I’m sure is nothing to people who are further north than me. Unfortunately, this area is routinely under-prepared for this kind of stuff. We might lose power. I’ll definitely be spending most of tomorrow shoveling snow and chugging hot drinks. I’ve prepped tweets through Wednesday, but I could very well disappear from the Internet for a while. The name ‘Sandy’ is getting tossed around again.
So I hope everyone has a fun week, all authors have great sales/reviews, and that I only lose one day to this ‘Elsa Storm’. Though would anybody really notice me being gone for a week? I schedule posts almost a month in advance, so I’m actually wondering if it would take a while for most people to realize I disappeared. Ah well, off to do more storm prep and wait for the early return of the little guy.

True. I’m guessing the regulars would pick up on something. Hopefully I don’t have to test this in the next few days.

We’re supposed to get about a foot or so of snow here. My husband’s school has an early dismissal, and my daughter just texted me that her school in PA just decided to close (fortunately she got the message before she left for work). Hope all goes well with you and your snow building efforts. 🙂

Hope things go well for you and your family. I’m still waiting to hear about early dismissal. The storm is supposed to pick up in our area around noon. Seems we get one of these every year now.

Good luck! Your son will probably enjoy the snow. I think my other daughter in Boston is the one who’s really going to get the snow!

He’s already excited, but doesn’t understand that we should wait for it to stop. Surprised his school hasn’t sent him home already.

I love Frozen. You’ll never hear a “Frozen sucks” or “not that song” form me. It’s my ringtone. Now that you’ve lost all respect for me . . . I slid off the road this morning because of the ice. Can’t wait until the weather clears up and we can all enjoy summer again . . . Oh the sky will be blue, and you guys will be there too . . . when I finally do what frozen things do in summer. In summeeeeeer! Sorry couldn’t help myself. You started it;)

I take full responsibility. Though I prefer spring. Odd how we seem to always ask if we like summer or winter. It’s like: Do you prefer frost bite or sunburn?

Spring and Fall are both nice. Part of me loves summer because it’s hot and dry. Not fond of rain. I guess I’ll choose sunburn over frostbite. LOL

It’s already causing a mess. Not sure I want the rain if the low temps remain here. That would just be ice. 🙂

No, I meant you can have our just above freezing dampness, with a wodge of grey cotton wool sky and a nice helping of drizzle. No ice, no snow, nothing too dramatic. Just tedious, depressing, bloody British winter weather.

Oh man. I hope you guys won’t get that much snow. Will be thinking of you! It’s cold here in the Midwest. I’m pretty sure we’ll get some snow too.
I like Frozen. I wouldn’t complain. I think calling a blizzard an Elsa Storm is a great way to explain it to your son.

Eastern Long Island got hit. The winds made it odd too. The walkway was half high drift and half bare concrete.

That’s weird. We’ve had those happen to us too. I’m never sure if I should shovel or leave it alone to melt on its own.

We shoveled just to avoid it icing over and in case the winds changed directions. Be a pain to walk out later and find the cleared space replaced by a new drift.
