With the terrible winter storm all over the midwest and northeast, flights were canceled, so Justin couldn't make it out of Hartford. He waited and tried for the next flight, which was canceled. And the next flight, which was canceled too. He tried to reschedule for today, but everyone else did too, so it's overbooked. He tried to reschedule for Friday and even for Saturday (the day of his Grandpa's birthday, the reason for flying out), but not luck.
So he came back, arriving home almost 12 hours after first leaving the house. We were glad to have him back, but sad he couldn't see his family.

Juma and I did go out and play in the snow in the afternoon, but it's not snow! Not a single snow flake in there. It's all little, flattened balls of ice, sleet, I guess. It's very powdery, and doesn't hold together at all, so there was no hope for a snow ball fight or snowman. Juma played in it like a kid plays in the sandbox, with buckets and shovels.
That lasted about 15 minutes, and we went in for hot chocolate, because it was just so cold outside.
