The kids just started back three weeks ago and have another week-long break in less than three weeks. How about I get to stay home from work and the kid still goes to school!

I've experienced this feeling before and I'm telling you...you have to try it more often. You don't know peace and quiet until the kids are gone.

At least in the Alpharetta area I don't see 2" of snow happening. But of course the Fulton schools will all be closed tomorrow.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Plan on slippery road conditions. The
hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening

A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means periods of snow will
cause primarily travel difficulties. Expect snow covered roads
and limited visibilities, and use caution while driving.

Oh, trust me...I know. I rarely ever get the house to myself. And when I do, it's like I've achieved nirvana.

According to the Weather Channel, we're just supposed to get rain and wet snow early tomorrow, and then temps aren't forecasted to drop below freezing until the evening after dry air moves in. The decision to shut down schools is downright embarrassing.
