i got the call at 6.20 this morning that the courthouse was closed today. i was so excited that i didn't fall back asleep for 30-45 minutes!

all of nebraska is in a winter storm warning and we're supposed to get 10 inches of snow today along with lots of wind.

i've spent the day reading and watching the snow from my couch (see pic). quite a bit of snow is falling and sometimes the wind is strong enough that it looks like the snow is blowing upwards! it's so cool!

i have all the gear to play in it, except for boots. i don't need them for skiing, so i didn't think to buy any. my sister has some really nice ones, but she's stuck with them at a friend's house a mile or two away. it doesn't look like she'll be able to come home until tomorrow morning. so i'll probably just go out in my tennis shoes.
