Hmmm.... It's looking like Wednesday is not the best day for me to make plans.

Last Wednesday we were supposed to go to the stable for therapeutic riding, and in the evening we were supposed to go to a homeschool group get-together... but it was snowy and icy. So we rescheduled horseback riding for Friday, and postponed the homeschool group get-together for a week.

So here is it Wednesday again, and we're supposed to be at the stable this afternoon, and the homeschool group get-together that we postponed from last week is tonight.

But... I won't be going to either of those places because it's snowing again.  It's looking like we could end up with a foot of snow.

Here's what the weather service says:

Elbert/Central And East Douglas Counties Above 6000 Feet

Winter Storm Watch:

Issued at: 9:13 PM MDT 10/26/09, expires at: 5:15 AM MDT 10/27/09

A winter storm watch remains in effect from Wednesday morning through late Wednesday night.
Rain will develop Tuesday evening and then change to snow after midnight and will continue through late Wednesday night. Snow may become heavy at times from Wednesday through Wednesday night. Snowfall accumulations may range from 6 to 12 inches. Gusty north to northeast winds will produce areas of blowing snow and reduced visibilities from Wednesday through Wednesday night.

So... it's looking like we aren't making to down to the stable today, or to the homeschool group get-together this evening. We have a few inches of snow on the ground so far, but it's coming down hard... It looks like a Christmas card outside.

It's a  good day to stay home... stay warm... load the crock pot up with some soup... make some bread to go with it (Mmmm)...get lots of school done... maybe watch a movie... drink some hot chocolate...shovel the path to the barn... drink some more hot chocolate... shovel the path to the barn.... drink some (well, you get the idea).

If you're in Colorado... stay warm! :)
