The storm warnings continue...

The last few days we have been getting endless warnings about the weather...and a few minutes ago we got more....somehow I don't think I will be sending the children down to the bus stop in the morning at -40c and lower temps...and Lloyd is taking my truck so the kids get the day off of school on Susies birthday to stay home in the warm....Chris is quite happy as he hasn't done his math homework lol! Susie can spend the day playing with her birthday gift :)
