A very unexpected day at home

This morning it was about ten minutes before Catherine was to get on the bus when our phone rang...we were on a school delay.  Yesterday things had been fairly icy so we assumed it was that, and there also seemed to be a fresh dusting of snow.  I really thought nothing about it and went back to sleep...although we did realize it was unbelievably late to be making that call.  Less than an hour later I was awakened again by the phone ringing...school was closed.  We were absolutely stunned.  None of the school districts around us were even delayed, and that includes very rural districts that close at the drop of a hat.  As the day progressed, apparently we had a heck of a snow burst that hit around 5:45/6:00 this morning creating almost blizzard like conditions for a brief period of time.  The buses had already gone out and picked up kids, but were radioing back to the garage that the roads were dangerous and unsafe.  Because this wasn't in the forecast there was absolutely no pre-treatment, and the the salt trucks and drivers weren't even prepared to go out because it hadn't been expected, so the delay didn't provide enough time for things to be cleared.  It's really the most bizarre snow day ever!  And give the fact that there is somewhere around 3-6" forecasted for Sunday I'm thinking we have a decent shot at a four day weekend!
