Today and yesterday I stayed home because the roads were impassable due to the 8" of snow that hit us. Last night we also got about an inch of sleet. So today teh City of Cincinnati declared today a Snow Emergency Level 3 meaning you could get ticketed for driving. The emergency level was downgraded to Level 2 at 4PM today. Level 2 means only drive if you have to.
The first picture was taken from our 3rd floor looking out towards the Ohio River. The next picture is of spouse shoveling the snow in front. The last picture is looking down Fort View ... I thought it was interesting b/c it shows the ice on the power lines and how it is weighing down the branches on the trees (a big problem around the city).
Yesterday and today I helped spouse shovel (my back is sore) but mostly I just embroidered and stoked the fire we had going all day. Yesterday I embroidered a bath towel for baby and today I embroidered pillow cases.
This afternoon spouse bought a tickeet for me to travel with him (business trip) in March to New Orleans the first week of March! So tonight I'm looking up stuff to do... as of right now I have found 4 museums that look interesting (Museum of Art, Ogden Museum of Southern Art, Bishoff Sculpture Gardens and Contemporary Art Center). I've also found several interesting tours, French Quarter, Garden District as well as Katrina Recovery Tours. According to what I've read online the Katrina tours are not voyeuristic and actually residents welcome the tourism.
On Saturday March 7 spouse and I will drive about 3 hours to Brandon, Mississippi (near Jackson) to visit spouse's aunt and uncle.
