Another Louisiana Snow Day

Yes you read that right…ANOTHER Louisiana snow day in less than a week! What is happening here?

In the past, we’ve gone years between bouts of sleet or snow and so far this year, we’ve had two (today makes three) days off work because of icy conditions!

Apparently, the thought of a few snow days causes panic in the hearts and minds of southerners. In turn, this causes a mad rush to the local grocery stores to purchase all the bread and milk available. Seriously, you would have thought a hurricane was coming with the way the parking lots were on Monday afternoon on my way home from work. I chose to refrain from partaking in the madness.

Louisiana Winter Storm Store Panic 

Our local news station posted the above photo of a nearby Albertson’s.  Yes, we are insane I know.

…and now I give you, the SneauxPocalypse of 2014!

SneauxPocalypse

In my area, that’s it. We received about 9 hours of sleet and no snow.  Again, I didn’t get to build a snowman. Sad times.

The freezing temperatures did cause closures of many roadways and bridges – they didn’t want a repeat of Friday…

200 accidents in the ice

Scary roadways = scary drivers!

To pass the time yesterday, I washed clothes and caught up on magazine reads.

Stack of Magzines

I’ve been slacking since September…whoops.

Speaking of whoops, I made a few yesterday -

BreadMan

My Breadman, oh how I loathe thee. The aromas of freshly baked bread filled the air and caused me to eat irrational things. Never. Again.

The final whoops of the day…

Royal Family 5K

I bit the bullet and registered for the Royal Family 5K during Disney’s Princess Half Marathon Weekend! I figured I would be out at the race site anyway to cheer on my husband and my parents so why not? Can’t wait for a fun-filled weekend of running!

These past few days have shown me that I’m way to ADD to stay at home with nothing to do. (Working from home or having kids at home would be a different story since I would actually have something to do.) I’m so glad I have things to keep me busy throughout the day on a regular basis!  I have a feeling by the end of tomorrow, I’ll be caught up on my scrapbooking and several closets will be organized! :0)

What do you do on snow days? If you live in the south, have you ever had a “snow” day?
