Okay... so as you can see Hampton Roads (Williamsburg and area) has been hit with a big snow storm. It started in the wee hours of the morning and just hasn't stopped and it is now 4 pm. We have about 6 or 7 inches right now and it just keeps coming. It's really slick out there (not that I've tried to drive... you can see my car under the snow)and the wind is blowing like crazy! So crazy. But, as a teacher who feels like she needs as many days off as possible, this lovely storm is hitting on a Saturday.*sigh* I am hoping that it lasts all weekend and we can get out of our professional developments on Monday. Isn't it awful that this is what I wish for? Come on, the kids already have the day off, they are playing in the snow and it would be lovely to have just a day extra off. I know it wouldn't make a difference if I went in or not with regards to student contact so... ?
Anyway, just thought I'd share what it looks like here in Virginia at the moment. Enjoy the winter wonderland!

Dear Angela Mae,
I have really enjoyed reading your different blogs, and I believe for you and for me, he is out there! :o)
My name is Jill Randolph and I work with CityTownInfo.com, a website providing over 50,000 reference pages of real-world information on careers, communities, and colleges to our 10 million annual visitors.
I was reviewing your blog and wanted to let you know that we have just released a free 64-page e-book we think you and your visitors may find interesting. An article and press release published recently provide additional information as well as commentary from a fellow webmaster and blogger who has linked to the e-book. Our e-book provides a candid, real-world perspective on the elementary teaching profession via interviews with 25 teachers from grades 1 through 5, across a variety of disciplines including reading specialists, PE, and music teachers, to name a few. The book offers advice, tips, best and worst parts of the job, as well as words of wisdom, inspiration and caution from working teachers. One quote from the book:
"Many people think that because the school day ends at 3 PM teachers just leave, but, the truth is, we stay late and often put in more than an eight-hour day. Almost always we take work home with us. Yes, we do have summers off, but we are constantly thinking about the school year to come and working on our skills."
Yours is one of the very first blogs we are reaching out to, so that you may share this relevant information with your visitors. We hope you’ll take a bit of time to review the book – it’s a fairly quick read – and then consider passing along your thoughts to your readers. We can provide you with cover art images in various sizes if you would like and we recommend linking to the page containing the eBook (http://www.citytowninfo.com/employment/elementary-school-teachers).
Thank you for your time and consideration. If I can answer any questions you may have, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Jill Randolph
