Snow Day


Schools in Providence are off for today and tomorrow.  Snow is coming down and visibility is about half a block.  We are anticipating high winds and cold temps once the snow winds down this evening.  Luckily we had good notice of the storm.  I've been trying not to overbuy food in order to waste less, but that meant the only vegetables I had in the house yesterday morning were frozen peas and okra, and the only fruit was frozen blueberries, and no milk.

I beat the crowd on my morning shop, but then had to go to three more places after I picked up LB from school, because the first place was out of milk, and then I realized I had no flour for pizza dough.  A friend posted a pic from my closest Whole Foods, at which the greens section was COMPLETELY emptied. I guess that's what happens when New Years resolutions meet blizzard. Three additional stores later, here we are ready for the storm:



(I don't know why I didn't post this when we actually had the big storm, but here you go, belatedly).
