So the final snow count for Springville? Meh. MAYBE just under two feet. Closer to 20 inches I think. I KNOW IT IS IRRATIONAL but I get really grumpy when we don’t get the big snowstorms.

HWMMS will be working from home tomorrow because Buffalo has to recover – and all the Southtowns. And there’s that pesky driving ban and road closure.

I’m somewhat sad that I pretty much slept away the “snow event” when I should have been a baking goddess. Colleen was scheduled to come for the weekend and WE WERE GOING TO BAKE ALL THE THINGS. At least get a good start, but alas. Not meant to be. We have plans for Valentine Baking instead…

I got out of bed sometime before halftime and decided to at least PRETEND I started baking. No Football Sunday for me in the kitchen – last week the loss really bothered me and I promised my nervous system (and heart and lungs and brain and throat…) I would take a break. (EXCEPTION if Tre was going to be playing, but alas, still no #27.) I watched the score come through a few times but did not watch or listen. Fan Until I Die. But man, the heartbreak is so painfully real.

Double batch of box brownies with Fall Sprinkles. And double batch of Cherry Chip Bark Cookies with added Dried Cranberries. It’s a start, right?
