I'd want my college tuition money back. Can you imagine being a meteorologist’s parents and knowing your kid keeps getting the weather wrong repeatedly? I’d want my college tuition money back.

Saturday they predicted a low of 32. . .mild freeze, no worries. Except when I looked at the weather the current temp was 19! er. . .in my hell hole of a rental that makes for damn cold house temps. Sunday and Monday were slightly better, they were only 8 degrees off on the lows, but they were low on the highs, so it was vera nice in the afternoons. shirtsleeve weather! shortsleves yesterday! this morning the temp is within a degree(of course it is lower) but where I am we are usually a bit cooler when cold, and warmer when it warms up, being just out of the city's moderating effects. the last few days they been missing the temps here in DFW

When the boys are in the mood for cookies, I thaw and slice them and bake. It works with chocolate chip cookie dough, too, but VH usually just grabs a log out of the freezer and starts gnawing on it, so I can't count on having them ready-to-go. Unfortunately, my freezer's empty so I'll have to make lots of extra dough logs tomorrow.

I want to do some more baking too, but I don't know how much. I have another tip. Put globs (balls) of cookie dough right next to each other on parchment paper and stick them in a bag and in the freezer. You can put them in dozens or whatever on a sheet of paper. Then, when you want to bake some cookies, preheat the oven, take the frozen balls out of the freezer, space properly on a cookie sheet and bake 'em up. They will probably take a couple minutes longer than normal - because they were frozen, but only a couple so watch them. Quick, no mess, fresh baked cookies! And ever so much cheaper than the packages in the dairy section at the grocery store. <em>kimsch's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MusingMinds/~3/204949407/' rel="nofollow">Fred Does It Right</a></em> I just baked some Andes mints cookies and Andes peppermint/white chocolate cookies tonight.

Since we were snow-bound, VH and the Big-Eyed Boy finished off all of the cookies I'd baked. All. Of. Them. All. Six. Dozen. I don't know whether to be appalled or impressed.

All. Of. Them.

All. Six. Dozen.

I don’t know whether to be appalled or impressed.

Either way, I’ll be baking more tomorrow, so I’ll put together the Reindeer Food while we’re in the kitchen.

But it sounds like you definitely made the best out of what could've been a miserable situation. And, actually, it sounds like a lot of fun. I know we'll have a blast making snowmen and throwing snowballs tomorrow, which is something we couldn't do if we'd only had 1 inch or so. Chaz, I'm glad you didn't get hit with more ice again!

We wound up with about two. Still, it's a lot nicer than the three inches of ice we had two weeks ago. <em>CGHill's last blog post..These days totally rule</em> They kept revising the numbers here, from “dusting” to “one inch” to “one to three inches.” We wound up with about two.
