SNOW DAY!!!!

Today was my first snow day since my junior year in high school. We did not have a single snow day my senior year, so how funny is it that I would not have any in college until my senior year?

(I really like this picture for some reason...)

So Kentucky is literally a big skating rink. We are in a "state of emergency" and a lot of people don't have power. This morning, I was one of them. About 5 or 6 hours later, it was back on. Thank goodness for battery backups! It came on about 15 minutes before Matthew came home from work (yes Best Buy was open. His boss had to come pick him up because his truck hates snow)... naturally! It could have been a lot worse. My mom had to drive down to Berea to pick up my stepbrother and his roommate because Berea closed down and all the students had to be off campus by 5pm today. Absolutely insane.

(...and taking pictures of icicles apparently)

So back to the snow day, I had no intentions of going to campus today regardless of whether or not we had class. I only have lab hours and work so no big deal. Yesterday, however, should have been canceled. We were on a delay so I didn't have class until 11. They finally decided to close campus at 3:30 after someone fell and got hurt. Amanda had little spike things on her shoes, so she would break through the ice, pull me (because I was having to skate on the ice) and then take another step. It was madness. Some people seemed to enjoy it though. We watched one guy run and slide on the sidewalk a couple of times. One time he did it, he lost his balance, and tumbled forward only to quickly end up back on his feet. We laughed, but he did it to himself so we didn't feel so bad :)

So that you can enjoy the skating rink that is Kentucky, I took some pictures. Enjoy :D

More icicles of course :)
Look at all the snow on my swing!
The branches are weighed down with ice.
Hope they don't fall on my car.

There were icicles on the siding!
