An ice storm last night, and snow today. It's supposed to snow all day.
Classes have been cancelled, though I am still making my students turn in their papers which were due today. So far the papers are surprisingly good. I told them exactly what to do and provided a model, so maybe that's why?
Also I think these kids today are more literate than those in the past. Which makes sense, since they spend half their time writing -- sending texts, reading texts, posting conspiracy threads on twitter....
Anyway, I'm drinking coffee and watching the snow fall. A nice day.
ETA: I'm seeing notices of more power outages in Texas due to this storm. That's what happens when the GOP runs your state. We get power outages here, too, for the same reason. They're so common that nearly every house, including my little rental shack, has a fireplace, so that when your power goes out in the winter you don't freeze to death.
But people in Texas living in trailers clearly do not have that option.
I've also noticed that houses built from say, 1990 to 2005, also don't have fireplaces. And the house we rented in 2002-2003 had a fireplace, but it was bricked up. Luckily we didn't lose power that year, though we did have a massive ice storm.

It is freezing rain here. The kids are disappointed, though happy to have a snow day even without snow.
Yay good papers!
We had freezing rain last night, but it turned to snow this morning. Now we have snow over ice. Most people are avoiding driving on it, at least so far!
