Ohio did not get the amount of snow that the east coast got, but it sure seems like a great deal, and it keeps coming. The kids have been unfortunate enough to not get a single snow day during the entire blizzard, because it doesn’t snow at night, which always allows the plows to get out and clear the roads before school begins. I think some other school districts actually had snow days, but not Akron. They just kept plowing and the snow kept stopping. The other deciding factor would be the actual temperature, but the lowest it has dropped is in the teens.

I went outside and shoveled the driveway, and Eddy came outside and helped. Patty helped some as well, but near as much as Eddy. The snow has continued to fall and while I have gone outside to push the shovel around and remove a few more inches of snow from atop my driveway I have to admit that I had to give up. The snow is just beating me this year. I think I should buy more shovels for next year, because these kids are certainly big enough to help now. It is getting to be too much to do by myself.

Michelle was over this weekend as well. I helped her with homework. It was a project where she had to start submitting sources for a paper on to a website. It is interesting and a good use of technology, but Michelle does not actually have internet access at home. I know student teaching in Akron most of those students would not have had access to this sort of thing either. It was fun having her over here. I hope she comes out again soon.
