Snowmageton?

In the 22 years we have lived in Durham Russ has some how been away for every major snow event. The worst one was when Carter was little and we lost power for seven days. I think Russ was in London for that one. I eventually made it to the farm after a couple of days with no power where amazingly my parents had electricity. Back in the olden days I could call my home phone and if the answering picked up it meant the power had come back on.
According to my scrapbooks Russ missed a number of snows in a row when Carter was two. I remember that the first night without power I threw a heavy duty extension cord out the window of my bedroom and plugged it into the power inverter in my jeep, not to run a heater or lights, but to power the TV since it was the final episode of Survivor. If Russ had been home I probably would not have wanted to watch TV, but if Russ were home it probably would not have snowed so much.
Tonight everything on earth has been canceled in anticipation of the storm the forecasters say we are getting in the morning. Not that I do not believe meteorologists, but really the odds of it happening with Russ home are next to none. Now I truly believe that Washington, DC is going to get a record setting amount of snow, but Durham, not so much. We could get a thin layer of ice that makes driving too dangerous and therefore the closings will be necessary, but I am fairly certain this is no snowmageton.
Russ could have gone to Philly this week, but since his brother has been moved back into CICU to help his body accept his new heart, he decided to stay home because he would not be allowed to spend time with David so as not to introduce new germs to him. If Russ had gone I would guarantee at least a foot of snow.
So enjoy the second long weekend in a row. If we do get a lot of snow it will break every rule of our marriage that says I should do all the snow shoveling.
